handsofclay Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 The amount of times I hear on live footy TV coverage the commentator apologising for any bad language picked up on the microphones from the crowd. Jeez, are there really people viewing at home out there who are genuinely offended? Possibly, there might be one or two strange people in the audience of sometimes millions who hear the W C or F word and need to resort to downing a bottle of brandy to recover from the shock but even that I find unlikely. So why do commentators waste their breath. Plus, it makes me think is this 2018 or 1918? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distortia Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Probably the worst example I've seen. Why the hell would they even bring attention to it?
