Message: [QUOTE="RammerJammer, post: 321250, member: 2090"] Don't you think this probably reflects the new "get tough" policy on profanity that has been in effect since the infamous Janet Jackson Super Bowl flashing? You're seeing huge fines handed down by the FCC to networks and television stations, guests are being permanently banned from talk shows, NASCAR is fining drivers points and dollars for swearing on their team radios or in front of the cameras. What's interesting about this poker penalty is that 99% of poker tournament broadcasts are taped well in advance and heavily edited. The player's "F" word outburst could have been censored or completely deleted from the show. It probably took place in a casino, where no one in the live audience was under 21, right? So, I've got to say that is very harsh indeed. To put someone's tournament life at risk over an unthinking remark is completely unwarranted. [/QUOTE]
