Should We Care About the F-Bomb?

I've obviously got sports on my mind this morning ...

So, yesterday during an emotional pregame ceremony in Boston, Big Papi, for you non-sports fans it's slugger David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox, gave a rousing and uplifting speech during which he dropped a f-bomb.  Like the attached article says, if anyone was offended while watching it on TV, you're going to have to complain to someone other than the FCC.  As you can see, they let it slide.

In my opinion, I think we need to relax.  In the grand scheme of things, I don't find it necessary to get all bent out of shape because of one 4-letter word used during a passionate speech.  There are much more larger concerns in life.  I'm not saying it was appropriate.  It wasn't.  There are definitely other words he could have chosen to inspire the Bostonians but this charitable man spoke movingly from the heart and slipped in a naughty word.  Let's allow this one to slide.

One last note:  for those of you who say "but my 8 year old heard him say it!"  Trust me, your 8 year old has heard that word before.  You may or may not know where he or she has heard it but I'm 98% sure your kid has been exposed to the f-bomb.
