Big PHILLIES f-bomb broadcast Live across all local broadcast media

Get over it.

Kids start hearing this word and using it by the time they are in the 2nd grade. Most hear their parents say it at home when they are preschoolers. While I try not to use it around my kids...sometimes I slip and it comes out. Big F'in deal!

If you want research about the words acceptability...you had it that day when it drew the loudest cheers from the suburban families that invaded the city on that glorious day.

Whether Chase said it or not...your kids still use that word everyday with their peers.

Don't look for Chase or any ballplayer to be a role model...if you are a good parent it is up to you to be the role model and to get your kids to behave that way you want them to. I am sure my kids use it all the time...they just know not to use it around me.

Big deal!
 
The idea stated by the original poster was that we should consider how we vote this Tuesday because "big government" will look to regulate more due to the Chase Utterance. It was a transparent attempt to use the fear card. What should have been most surprising to most, was not that he dropped the F-bomb, but that no one in the local media seemed to be on a delay for a live event.
In my opinion, there should be some consequence for that.

Man, let's get this straight. Live should mean live. Not time delayed, not regulation altered delayed, live should mean live, live should be live. We don’t want to loose that. It is not necessarily a consequence of this Utley utterance, but big yo bro government is going to lead to more unnecessary regulation with more constrictions on free speech under the guise of things like the fairness doctrine. What I was trying to say in my original post is that this is another example of a time to pay attention as to who controls what we do and who we are as a people. Look deeper and learn. It matters what infringes on free speech and free exchange, among other things. Get involved, use your voice, use your vote and beware that heavy-handed socialistic regulation makes us that much less of the land of the Free. What we say and do as broadcasters, should not be regulated. In essence, Stay cool, but don’t freeze. Dig? Solid ted, ‘nuff said! 
 
That's right. We're all going to hell because the F bomb and a few others are dropped during live broadcasts. What are the real fears of TV and radio stations?
One example from years ago that explains it:
On 20/20,(at 10pm), Hugh Downs warned, "You might want to send the kids to bed before this next story." The story? An interview with Howard Stern. No warning about the next week's story. An interview with the woman who mudrered Selena. See kids, it's okay to kill people. That'll get you on TV. Just don't talk dirty. That'll get you in trouble.
 
This is a great topic for talk radio - though most so-called talk hosts would naturally handle it in the wrong way; i.e. bringing on self-anointed "morality" spokesmen like (ugh) Brent Bozell, ranting "WE MUST PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM THIS IN-DEEEE-CEN-CEEEEEE..." :p

The right way would be to use it as a lead-in to asking, "How do you deal with your children when they see/hear something you consider inappropriate?"
 
Chase had the look of a toddler about to do something he knows his parents have forbidden right before he did it. Accidental? Probably not.

But the FCC should keep the taxpayers' money out of anything to do with this. It wouldn't surprise me to see Skippy Martin want to strike one more blow for his version of decency, but I, for one, don't want my money spent on such bull---t. :)
 
its really not that big of a deal. its only a word. and it was use in exc itement. the point is the phillies won the world series for the first time in 28 years. with this event happening, if one f bomb slips out, so be it. no one really cares. its not a big deal.
