Commentators apologising for swearing.

[b1gals]

Isn't foul language a card offence in football ?

 

[TopCat]

Yes i do. Just getting of them saying it every game.

eh?

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

eh?

Soz should have said ' just getting sick of them apologising every game'. Anyone who follows footy hears swearing all the time.

 

[herra soul mob]

its an ofcom agreement and is part of their license ( sky , bt, bbc etc )

I agree, but if they didn't apologise you know some whoppers would complain. People love a complaint

Just apologised in the Fleetwood game after the watershed

 

[SAFC_Jack]

I love how annoyed people get over trivial things

Yes but the answer is sorry but footballers and fans swear incessantly at every match played.

True that.

 

[SAFC_Jack]

How come they can swear before the watershed on 6Music? Only started listening recently, and its very unusual!

Watershed doesn’t apply to radio.

 

[hank williams]

Why don't they have a time delay like they dee for the radio in case someone swears on there

 

[SAFC_Jack]

It started pre-watershed, though. It’s about when your programme begins.

Why don't they have a time delay like they dee for the radio in

Compromises watching it “live”.

 

[The Hesford Diet]

I was surprised to hear the f word shouted so regularly during Bundesliga matches. I can only surmise that swearing in English is a lot more f***ing satisfying than in other languages.

 

[6inarow]

They should have a 'sticky' in the corner of the screen next to the score with an apology so they dont have to contstantly apologise...I did notice they had a 'sticky' for Black Lives Matter which I find astonishing...(not to be discussed here though that's for another thread)

 

[seahamstar]

This.
Does it really matter?

 

[max wartbug]

The broadcasters could donate £100 to charity for each audible case of swearing. That would negate the need to apologise and take the steam out of the serial offended.

 

[two left feet]

You’d be surprised people are outraged with everything today

Yeah, some people are outraged that broadcasters apologise for swearing.

Today I learned...

 

[rinigrajo]

Will they just shut up - every single match you attend you will hear loads of swearing - why do they need to constantly apologise every time a swear word is audible on the TV? Nobody cares.

So if you had young children - maybe under 8 say, you would think it would be OK for them to hear swearing in their own homes on the TV?
I agree, if you go to the match its part and parcel and if you dont want your kids ot hear it dont take them. In your own home before the watershed you have a choice.

 

[Marty Moose]

The boxing is terrible for it, it's bastard 11:30pm at night and Adam Smith is still sat there pratting on appologising as if somebody has just launched a volley of sickening abuse in the middle of the Antiques Roadshow on a Sunday teatime.

 

[Granger]

Yeah, they are not really sorry like - just covering their back in case some numpty “Outraged from Tunbridge Wells” fires off a letter to Ofcom.
