XFL Sideline Reporter Asks XFL Player Not To Curse During Live Interview, XFL Player Immediately Curses During Live Interview
BOOOOOO!!!!! No offense to this reporter, who was just doing her job and likely told by her bosses to keep things PG for all the kids at home watching a football game at night who have somehow never heard a curse word in their life. But what the fuck is the point of an Xtreme Football League if there is no cursing during live interviews? That's what makes a league Xtreme. Save the clean cookie cutter cliche-filled interviews for the National Football League and any boring extreme football leagues that spell it "Extreme" instead of "Xtreme", which is less extreme by any tangible measure. I know laughing at someone curse on a live mic is silly and childish, but that's exactly what I am. If you ask a football player with adrenaline pumping through his system during a football game not to curse on live TV, there two things that are going to happen.
1. He is going to curse.
2. The reporter is going to make a face like this:
The craziest part of all this is that these precautions were taken at 11:30 PM ET. What's wrong with a four letter word or two on a cable network after 9 pm? If AMC and FX can get away with an F-Bomb here or there, so can ESPN. In fact, there should be an XFL After Dark game every week where anything goes. I'm talking WWF Attitude Era stuff. Cursing, blood, outlandish violence, and a whole bunch of skin. Put it behind a paywall on ESPN+ with age verification if you have to along with a fully loaded The Following Program Contains screen that always seemed to appear before a great Thrones episode and watch your ratings go through the roof.
