Super Bowl F-bomb could put FCC in a bind

[fansince'76]

After another obscenity incident involving CBS and a Super Bowl broadcast, the Federal Communications Commission is under pressure to fine the TV network.

A watchdog group says it wants the FCC to act after CBS aired audio of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco using the F-word and another player using a curse word. Both incidents happened right after the Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday’s Super Bowl.

Last June, the U.S. Supreme Court confirmed the right of the FCC to fine over-the-air broadcasters if they aired profane words. It also said the FCC had to make its rules clearer to broadcasters. But the FCC hasn’t faced a high-profile profanity case until now since the Supreme Court ruling.

I really don't know why they don't do that already. I mean, they mic the players, have mics with big plastic half balls around them to capture the sound, and have cameras that pan across the audience with all types of signs held up. Really, you'd think that a short delay would already be used.
