Did anyone see this on TV , I don't watch football , I agree it was in bad taste showing Tom swearing over and over the 'F' word.
I'm not offended. You certainly don't have to know how to read lips to understand what he's saying though.
It probably won't do much effect, kids learn swear words from peers, not just from movies or professional sports players. A lot of networks censor the swear words but it doesn't solve the problem.
Some of those players are not being classy with their behaviors.
I have to agree with Tom on this. Why are the networks suddenly airing it? It's not like this has not been happening on the field since the beginning of football. And, it's not like Tom Brady is the only person that has been doing it.
In fact, I'm wondering why the FCC hasn't stepped in here and corrected the NFL and broadcast companies. Perhaps it takes something stronger, like a wardrobe malfunction?
It's ironic that cursing/swearing/profanity is called "adult" language because it's used mostly in a non-adult manner. That is, it's used when people lose control of themselves, or lack sufficient vocabulary to express themselves, or to shock or entertain others--all expressions of immaturity or lack of education--not "adult" behaviors.
It's a shame that such coarse language is becoming more acceptable in the general public. People complain about second-hand smoke and auto pollution but seem comfortable with communication pollution dirtying their environment.
