The danger of having a live mic inside of a dugout! Did this happen on Sportsnet or just the Atlanta broadcast?

Swearing on a live sports broadcast is a non-event. Happens quite a bit. I remember once hearing Kurt Browning swear after a poor figure skating performance. Years ago TSN would mic up some of the players during a few live CFL football games. Lots of F bombs even worse slipped through. They did it for a couple of years but dropped it since all the talk was more distracting than anything. TSN does package up some of the games (maybe still do) into a half hour highlight show but do appropriate editing of the swearing.

Tangentially, the swears of today are vastly different from the swears of our youth. At least three of George Carlin's "7 Dirty Words" have slipped into everyday parlance and aren't deemed as offensive as they once were.

I'm of the approach Howard Stern took when moving to Sirius: we may swear occasionally but we're not going to swear just because we can.

There should be a point to swearing or it loses all effect; say a word enough times and it loses all definition. The f-word is getting there.

Law and Crime TV just finished live streaming a nine week murder trial from California in which four of Carlin's seven words were entered into evidence multiple times by prosecution and defence attorneys.using witness statements, taped conversations, transcripts, and direct witness testimony.

Gee, guess he speaks English, after all.

Honestly I am glad he is starting to speak for himself in interviews and in public without a translator
