Actually, I've heard lots of words during the "family hour" on television that I would give a T for if I heard them in a game. The late Steve Allen said that TV has become a "sewer". I'm not sure I agree with going that far, but I do know that the first network hour each night is far different in tone and language from when I a kid, even from when I was raising small kids. The worst part is that network shows that normally run later are routinely "stripped" at the dinner hour.
I am not advocating censorship in the slightest and certainly I am not a prude by a long shot. I'm only saying that times have changed and sometimes I feel like I'm trying to hold back a bursting dam when I insist on no profanity and good sportsmanship during games.
