Apologies for the language...
Apologies for the language...
If you stick a mic in a corner between rounds or interview a boxer after he's slugged it out in a hard fight, isn't it inevitable that you'll get some swearing?
If you don't want the airwaves turned blue, don't do either...simples.
In any case, I'm watching two blokes knock the shit out of each other, what makes you think I'm going to be offended by a little swearing?!
Ed Robinson's bollocking of Bellew for daring to use the word 'pussy' was cringeworthy.
To be honest, I'm more offended by some of the commentary, I'd rather you apologise for that!

Re: Apologies for the language...
I'd've loved it if Bellew would've told him to fvck off.
Re: Apologies for the language...
I agree it was bad telling him off like that,but worse was Bellew pretending that Ramirez was a pu$$y when they offered the fight to Bellew before Ovill and he turned it down...

Don't they legally have to apologise? I seem to remember during the rugby world cup a commentator explaining that he was obligated to apologise and acknowledged most of the viewership wouldn't care
Re: Apologies for the language...
But that would have been during the daytime so I suppose an apology is expected, but FFS after the watershed just let it go.Riddick Blowe wrote:Don't they legally have to apologise?

It's after the watershed. Even The Apprentice now has swearing as it's after 9pm. They are not worrying about apologizing

Honestly who gives a rat's @rse about swearing. There's something almost obscene about having no problem showing young men risking their life and under taking legal grievous bodily harm Which in the street would result in a 5 year sentence.... And then telling someone off for saying the word pussy...... What a bell end.

Legally? Really? Wouldnt a disclaimer at the start cover it? "This programme may contain..."Riddick Blowe wrote:Don't they legally have to apologise?

Yeah never understood why they don't just whack up something at the start or every so often when they come back from adverts. I don't see the point in having a watershed if you then apologise for something offensive being said after it. Surely its parents responsibility if their kids are watching it by then?

I can't wait til the moment comes when Sky put a mic in a Arnie Farnell corner.
They will have to designate a full hour slot to do all the apologies.
Dave Coldwell fantastic corner man who speaks the truth to his fighters. Sky apologising for the language is a embarrassment.
Eubank saying cojones was another one that needed no apologies.
