Family Policy Network President Joe Glover has filed an official
complaint with the Federal Communications Commission Sunday evening,
charging that "NASCAR and FoxSports have a responsibility to keep
profanity off of broadcast television, especially during daytime hours
on Sunday afternoon when so many families are watching."
A recent ruling by the FCC found:
The group sent out an alert asking its members to complain to the FCC about Fox's coverage of the Food City 500, in which a member of driver Martin Truex's pit crew referred to a car as a "piece of s***."
"The ‘S-Word’ (which was broadcast on Fox Sunday afternoon) is a vulgar excretory term so grossly offensive (highlights by PRP - are they kidding??) to members of the public that it amounts to a nuisance and is presumptively profane. Like the ‘F-Word,’ it is one of the most offensive words (huh??) n the English language, the broadcast of which is likely to shock the viewer (not me and my kids) and disturb the peace and quiet of the home."
Family Policy Network emailed an "action alert" to approximately 35,000 supporters throughout the nation. Each message contained a full description of the issue, links to supporting audio and documents, and instructions with a link to complain to the FCC.
Family Policy Network Statement
It's obvious Joe Glover doesn't get out much. Does anybody else care?
I care! I am so mad that I can't see straight. They have a website and it gives you a link to voice your opinion. I did it...so should everyone else!
We have to protect our sport. Everyone that has ever complained that Nascar is becoming TOO mainstream and PC should take action.
The silent majority must speak.
Sorry to get on my soap box...I am just mad.
