So Tiger Woods’ f-bombs during live golf broadcast really don’t go unnoticed.
According to Golf.com, Woods penchant for dropping f-bombs and NFSW language after a bad drive, has prompted a few FCC complaints.
Since 2011 the Federal Communications Commission has fielded 22 complaints about profanities heard on golf broadcasts on CBS, NBC, Golf Channel and ESPN, according to FCC records obtained by GOLF.com through a Freedom of Information request. Fifteen of those grievances, or nearly 70 percent, relate to salty language uttered by Woods.
To be fair, Woods is on camera far more than any other player and thus more exposed and scrutinized. But 15 gripes in four and a half years is still a hefty tally. Consider that over the seven-season run of Tina Fey’s edgy NBC sitcom 30 Rock, the comedy garnered just nine FCC complaints.
I was expecting for way more than 22 complaints.
It just shows you how conservative some golf fans are. Woods might drop a f*ck every so often, but the idea that moms aren’t letting their kids watch golf with their dads is hysterical.
