F-Bomb on ESPN2
I was just watching the East vs. West football game on ESPN2 and the cut to the huddle to listen in. Basnae the QB from Northwestern totally dropped "fucking" in the huddle saying something like "hold your fucking water in" or something like that. They cut sound but it was about 5 seconds too late.
Any one with TiVo recording this game and can verify that I'm not just hearing things?

Wow, i'm espn wasn't too happy about that. I don't see why they might a deal of it, because i doubt there were too many younger viewers watching that game. I understand why espn would of tried to cut the sound but personally i think it's quite funny

Well, there is that whole FCC thing.
I don't think the FCC cares how many young viewers are watching. Rules is rules! |

Would they be able to? I understand that they regulate the airwaves, hence the big $$$ fine for the "wardrobe malfunction" - but CBS is broadcast over regular airwaves. I thought that their powers were very limited when it came to cable channels. Hence the reason The Shield gets away with pretty much anything and everything they want.
Obvously ESPN hadn't rated the game for offensive language so maybe they can do something there. But I remember just a few months back someone (name escapes me at the moment) dropped some serious cussin' on CNN (can't remember if the F-Bomb was part of his tyrade) and stormed off the set. The FCC, when people complained, simply shrugged their shoulders and said "cable TV, sorry 'bout your luck". Something to do with the implied permission by subscribing to the channels. |
