LeBron's profanity-laced speech at Cavs victory parade gets two FCC complaints

Two people filed complaints with the Federal Communications Commission regarding LeBron James' profanity-laden speech during the rally at the Cavaliers' championship parade.
The complaints against WKYC and WOIO came June 22, the same day of the parade, from a viewer in Cuyahoga Falls and another in Louisville. The players' speeches were broadcast live without a five-second delay and the profane language broadcast over the air.
James was speaking candidly about his teammates when he dropped the a-word, the s-word and several variations of the f-word. The speech surprised some viewers and elicited laughter from his teammates and some of the estimated crowd of about 1 million people.
The Louisville viewer wrote to the FCC and said:
"The station allowed Lebron James to repeatedly use profanity on live TV... Thousands and thousands of families were watching the broadcast. Countless children listened to him talk like a drunken sailor. This is completely irresponsible of the network to allow this kind of language on live TV!"
The Cuyahoga Falls viewer wrote:
"I'm very proud of the Cavaliers winning the finals. Happy, fun day in Cleveland OH! But then Lebron got up to speak at the televised rally, and the whole speech reeked of profanity. On live tv - many channels, on live radio broadcasts, in front of a live 1 .3 million audience of fans, including many children. Was so uncalled for!!"

I love how these people always use children as as a shield for their real motive, which is finding things to complain about.

He was out of line with a few words. No need to use some of the language he used.

Don't worry, they want to go back to when America was great...

It only happens once every 50 years, I'll allow it.

I've never understood why people get so freaked out by hearing bad words. They're just words. In England cursing is all over their tv.

MJ would tell the people complaining to go fist frick themselves
Hopefully Bron does the same

It was such an absolutely disgusting display by LeBron that I immediately threw my young son's LeBron jersey in the trash and barred him from watching roundball for as long as he lives under my roof. The only sport he'll be allowed to watch here is high school football, the most wholesome and wildly entertaining of them all.
