Robert Montgomery Knight has probably used worse language during the team prayer...
I do respect everyone's view, but I think this whole "to-do" about Cal's language is overblown. You're dealing with young kids...basketball players...who have grown up talking that way. If you want to get through to them, I say talk like them and throw it right back their way.
"Now, Gosh Terrance. You certainly are being a little selfish with your level of play there guy. How's about you hustle a bit and make a little better effort at passing the ball and looking for your open teammates, because after all fella, this is a team sport." =FAIL
"Pass the ball you selfish mother******!" =WIN
I guess I take language for what it is....words....who cares! I drop a few f-bombs daily. I don't really think it makes me a bad guy. It simply lets me blow off a little steam and emphasize how unhappy I am about something without punching someone in the face. A much better alternative for the sake of peace.
I mean, it's like watching Smokey and the Bandit on cable....them changing Sum'bitch to Scum'bum really chaps me.
I do always watch my language around kids. And, I always watch my language around people whom I think it might offend...even though I think they are being ******-*** little ******* about it.
