They won't broadcast it live any time soon. Mind you, players might stop swearing at referees so much if they realise everybody hearing them scream "fucking blind cunt" at Stuart Attwell at half four on a Sunday afternoon might mean the endorsement deals from Gucci and Bose start drying up.
Swearing isn't a big deal at all.
In general refs have a line you can say that's a fucking joke but if you tell him he's a fucking joke to his face you're gonna end up in trouble.
TV broadcasters apologise for swearing at boxing matches which are broadcast after the watershed. Repeated dropping of the F bomb during primetime is not something that they will want on the games they pay a lot of money to acquire the rights for.
Right, so don't broadcast it.
