On yesterday's Lionesses celebrations, Chloe Kelly used a word that
was rapidly followed by two apologies by Sky News.

IAve no idea why people make so much fuss over such a word.
I see what you mean but I think the argument could be that if the
Lionesses are the role models for young girls, some parents may feel
strongly that this is not an appropriate example to follow
linguistically.
My dad had friends who would not allow their son - even as a teenager
- to attend any football matches in case he was exposed to offensive language. OTOH my brother had a friend who called his father a
'fucking ignorant bastard' one morning and the father responded 'Who
the fuck is swearing at the breakfast table?'

I am sure that someone will try to make a fuss about it being heard on
the BBC but most will excuse it.
I commented to someone last night that it is unusual for there to be a British team playing abroad without any stories of violence, drunkenness
etc.

I cannot disagree but it was the reaction of some parents that I was
thinking of, not that of the young people themselves. And despite your analysis Ofcom has on occasions taken action over use of language
before the 'watershed'.

Well, whatever. I only asked if there would be any consequences and
the general view seems to be 'no'.
I also asked if Sky News could delay the broadcast by six seconds and
still describe it as 'Live' but there are no takers on this one.
