| /u/antoncr What a creative way of saying no more questions please lol |
| /u/dwntwnleroybrwn I'm just here so I don't get fined. Another great fuck you to the sports journalists. Sports journalists are pons scum. E: It's pond scum. I couldn't be bothered to spell check. |
| /u/nolok Right next to Mbappé "I'll just pay the fine" |
| /u/JonatasA Or Cristiano Ronaldo's "Water". Or did he say "Agua"? I don't remember now. |
| /u/Parada484 In defense, they were some bullshit questions. "Your opponent has the world's largest dick and it's so impressive that his strikes streak fire across the air after rebounding on the mass of meat. What does it feel like to try and contain yourself in front of that amazing penis?" Like, the guy just played a match at a very high level, why are you glazing his opponent right in his face on television? |
| /u/ifyoulovesatan I can see that, but at the same time the context is "and you just beat him at the dick-having context." Like it's still probably kind of annoying, but you can at least see where the interviewer was coming from. |
| /u/koniash The follow up question was similar: "Remember how you completely fucked up last time? How's that feel now?" |
| /u/b-hizz He warned her, arguably twice. |
| /u/Better-Snow-7191 They sound super offended |
| /u/Tinyjar Because it's live TV and Ofcom will fine them for broadcasting swear words to kids. |
| /u/InvestInHappiness Need the parents to not change the channel before the alcohol and gambling ads come on. |
| /u/glasgowchapter No ads on the BBC, so the parents would specifically need to change the channel for the gambling and alcohol ads. |
| /u/Nick_XL Huh, TIL that there's no ads on the BBC |
| /u/rumenastoenka No commercials, no mercy |
| /u/vazyrus Apologies everyone. Could you say that without the f-bombs, please. |
| /u/JonatasA Free World Cup and Olympics too. |
| /u/darkklown those wackey brits pay a tv licence fee! everyone who owns a tv has to register and pay to have it! socialists! that money should be going to private business small time cable networks are struggling and need new markets to break into |
| /u/ilikeyourgetup I'm sure you know but for anyone who didn't - it's not just owning a TV, it's owning a TV and receiving live broadcasts (ie hooked up to an aerial) or watching BBC iPlayer. If you have a TV that you watch YouTube and play games on you don't have to pay the licence fee. |
| /u/kurt206 Not only that but no alcohol, pharmaceuticals or betting on British tv at all. And fast food ads only air post watershed (after kids are supposedly in bed). I know the US has a poor opinion of the Uk (most driven by far right commentators) - but our terrestrial TV is the best in the world. |
| /u/Banes_Addiction Alcohol and gambling ads are legal. They're everywhere. |
| /u/__arcade__ On the odd occasion I pop round to see my mam and she's got the TV on, I see plenty of adverts for those gambling apps on the TV. |
| /u/tanwa1 They act like kids only learn swear words on TV, internet is just too wide, they'll learn eventually lol. I think most parents swear in front of their kids in/directly, so they eventually learn on the environment they are in. 😃 |
| /u/Lux-uk even if parents swear in front of their kids they will still tell them not to swear or at least not to swear in public. which is the sort of behaviour this clip is teaching. |
| /u/Snitsie Fuck is just a normal word at this point. I don't know how anyone could be offended by it. Especially for people that speak English as a second language fuck means nothing as a curseword simply because the word itself has no meaning beyond "having sexual intercourse" which just isn't offensive. |
| /u/kingpaige No, it's absolutely still a curse. Your casual view of the term is likely being shaped by your culture but for many of us, we would neverrrrr use that word around our elders or children, nor expect to hear those two groups say it. We also wouldn't expect it in business conversations |
| /u/JannyStabberXK4000 No, "fuck" is not a "normal word at this point", and children do not have the brain development or life experience to know yet when it is and is not appropriate to curse. What a fucking idiotic thing to say. |
| /u/TwoBionicknees i've yet to ever seen anyone offended by a child swearing, almost every time a kid swears everyone in the room laughs. Kids are also absolutely brutal precisely because they don't know what's appropriate or not to say FOR ANYTHING at that age. So they'll while in public walk up to a person and just blurt out shit like "why are you so fat/ugly/smell so bad" etc, because kids are in general bad at understanding rudeness. I've seen literally magnitudes more people get upset at kids saying inappropriate things without swear words than people get upset at kids swearing. Also if basically every adult you know says fuck, then the idea it's offensive is just made up, and that's precisely why almost everyone laughs when a kid says it because no one actually finds it offensive, a certain group of people like to pretend it's offensive because they were told it's offensive so it must be, facts be damned. |
| /u/armitage_shank Its on a delay...why they can't bleep it IDK? |
| /u/cowbutt6 Look, Frank was having a little afternoon nap, OK?!? |
| /u/Better-Snow-7191 Because tennis is so popular with the youth? |
| /u/prpldrank Because if kids learn the word Fuck exists, their parents have to pay for their own noses to be surgically removed. |
| /u/BeardedBaldMan Lego is the number one cause of children learning about the word fuck, along with fucking, fucking hell, jesus fucking christ and for fuck's sake |
| /u/Nonoch3 Dude, tennis is like the 3rd/4th most popular sports in the world. Where i live it's football first, tennis 2nd, so of course many young people practice and watch tennis, sometimes even the ball catcher are kids. I'm sure they'll survive the word fuck, but pretending there's no kids watching because it's tennis suggest your doctor need to prescribe some grass touching asap. |
| /u/JonatasA Tennis is also viewed as a more formal sport. It's not like football where the crowd swears together so loud the mics pick it. |
| /u/JStaunton what a bizarre mindset (there will be lots of kid in that crowd, whether their parents have dragged them along or not) |
| /u/JonatasA Yes, that's one of the reasons behind sports. It's not an excuse for advertisent. |
| /u/jlharper The bizarre mindset is the one where people think that children are incapable of hearing swear words without some unspecified harm occurring. |
| /u/JStaunton You can tell we had very different upbringings, eh? (It's generally advised that kids hear as little swearing as possible. I don't think that's a wild thing to say). |
| /u/jlharper Definitely, it's advised based on nothing. No harm comes to anyone who hears a swear word and it's common in my country to hear young children swearing at each other or at sporting events. World still goes round. |
| /u/Zukez Pretty sure they could literally have their broadcast cut if it goes above 7 fucks. Broadcasting rules. |
| /u/Scissorhands12 good thing it was only 7! |
| /u/Witters84 Kept the straight face for the last F- Carpet Bomb like a pro. |
| /u/roadkilled_skunk Yeah I was shaking with anticipation and the madman just went for it. |
| /u/voiceofgromit My new favorite player. |
| /u/EtoileDuSoir Corentin Moutet! One of the most entertaining player on tour atm. You'll see crazy highlight reel worthy digs from him every few points, then he usually loses the match lol |
| /u/Africa-Unite I wonder if a little discipline is all that's keeping him from getting over the line? 😂 |
| /u/FremenStilgar Tim Henman, is that you?? |
| /u/Disallowed_username Apologies, everyone! |
| /u/cire1184 ... fuck fuck fuck... |
| /u/odnarB89 Honestly if she didn't mention it he wouldn't have done it haha |
| /u/Spirited_Currency_88 I feel like all sport players are always annoyed by interviews so if you give them a way out of it, they're gonna want to take it. |
| /u/Ok_Caterpillar_8238 "I'm just here for the interview so I don't get fined" |
| /u/JonatasA Yep, they only do it because of contractual obligations. At least no locker cameras "brought to you by Ring" or something. |
| /u/gegry123 I mean yeah, but it's kinda her job to |
| /u/labelsonshampoo John spartan you are fined 1 credit for the violation of the verbal morality statute John spartan you are fined 1 credit for the violation of the verbal morality statute John spartan you are fined 1 credit for the violation of the verbal morality statute |
| /u/JonatasA Ah, he needed to use the bathroom!!! That explains it. |
| /u/Zolo49 I have to assume he'll get some sort of fine for that, but it's still epic. |
| /u/MrSnowflake Imagine getting fined for say a doo-doo word, yet be fine when instilling hatred because of "free speech". |
| /u/Miniman125 This is easy to enforce because it's objective |
| /u/Baelzabub Saying "Michelle Obama is a man" is objectively false, but I guarantee that dude won't face an ounce of blowback from his sport over it, and will more likely be praised for it. |
| /u/MrSnowflake Sure, but also ridiculous. |
| /u/elizabnthe There isn't an instant of that I think of as it relates to tennis. |
| /u/icehot54321 can you give an example of what you are referring to? i'm not fully getting what you are trying to compare this with |
| /u/blaivas007 A random example that pops into my head is equating LGBT movement to pedophilia. There are many similar evil, disgusting narratives being openly broadcasted to the public and pearl clutchers are fine with it because people spreading such ideas do it in a soft, polite tone. But god forbid you accidentally cuss in the mildest way possible while talking about butterflies... |
| /u/Amflifier I do not believe any sport television broadcasts hate speech |
| /u/tnwthrow He's free to say this word. But he is not free from consequences. |
| /u/Pin-Lui Didn't know Linus from Linus Tech Tips plays tennis |
| /u/blackadder1620 he actually does too. |
| /u/meowpower777 Upbeat squirrelly fucks to that. |
| /u/alexanderpas He has his own badminton court. |
| /u/fedman5000 And his own private jet |
| /u/Phattank_ Was just about to post this too xd |
| /u/LetReasonRing I was waiting so long for the voice... I was like 80% sure it was him playing at a badminton tournament for a moment. |
| /u/dableuf He's like the fusion of Linus with Noah Wyle. |
| /u/JonatasA He's too bulky to be Linus. |
| /u/TheRealRubiksMaster He has his own courts, i know you were joking, but he has made multiple vids on it. |
| /u/TwoBionicknees this is far from the worst thing Linus has said, dude used to drop the hard r. |
| /u/StrangelyBrown I think the first one was accidental, but then he realised that the damage was already done so he might as well have fun with it |
| /u/grapersdelight -$7.500 -$7.500 -$7.500 |
| /u/VaATC Are you European or USAian? |
| /u/tophernator Some Europeans use decimal points as thousand separators, but they don't use dollars. So $7.500 is an odd thing to see. |
| /u/BlueSoccerSB8706 haha, that's actually hilarious! I get that it's supposed to be family friendly, but pretty funny |
| /u/Nisja Missed his opportunity to finish on "it was shit" |
| /u/blake_ch Love the reaction from the interviewer, politely thinking fuck, what I've done |
| /u/Oli4K People should stop being so childish about words. Swearwords are meaningless if people wouldn't act offended. |
| /u/VaATC I have, due to what a buddy said to me when I slipped in front of his kids ages before, raised my daughter saying that they are, "adult words. If they were bad words why did I use them, that they are powerful words that convey an amount of feeling that is not normally expressed with less colorful language, and that they are only supposed to be used when you know what they mean and when and where they are appropriate to be used." Luckily she acknowledged that and has not used anything she has heard from me when she is with he mother, friends parents, or at school. |
| /u/baffledninja I treat bad words like picking noses or touching yourself. Fine to do when you're in private but not when other people are around. So if my 5 year old excuses himself, goes to a different room and I hear a little voice going "maudit!!!!" from the other room, I'm ok with it. But not in public, and definitely not at school. |
| /u/NarcoIX Haha, maudit is damn good one too, kudos to your daughter |
| /u/oberynmviper Man, girl back there not even phased. |
| /u/rip1980 I mean, she could be standing on a live wire, but then she might be phased. |
| /u/foreordinator I'd like a Fazed Plasma Rifle in the 40 What range |
| /u/Eviladhesive Phased, phased, phased, phased |
| /u/Soft_Walrus_3605 Apologies, everyone, for the language there |
| /u/SauronSauroff She's a professional. You don't get on the court by fucking about. |
| /u/realPanditJi ball girl behind him is all GAME! |
| /u/MadDog443 Dude absolutely knew it was time to start trolling. |
| /u/boyengabird Fuck me, what an interview! Gotta love it. |
| /u/RedditTipiak FRANCE BAISE OUAIS ! |
| /u/Razzilith it's just a word and it's not harming anybody. grow the fuck up. same people offended by this shit hand their kids ipads daily. (and expose them to far worse) |
| /u/Electrical_Run_8139 Me if I ever went to interview |
| /u/Zychoz If the tv people wouldnt be such sissies about some word, ge would not have done it. |
| /u/Square-Formal1312 Wonder if she realizes every time she "ooh ah language!" Just makes him want to say it that much more |
