I also think it is ridiculous the way the others were laughing...they should have called him out on his so called joke.

Fire all of them...see how funny that is.

There are plenty of replacements out there who can be decent...many people are looking for a nice pay check as these guy have.
The saying, "Ignorance is bliss" fits well when reading your post.

WOW Look if you dont mind explaining that to your 4 year old that is your choice but you dont get to make the choices for everyone else. Its called respect.

No one is saying that children asking questions isnt part of learning. IE why is the grass green but to compare those type of questions to explaining masturbation is a bit out there

Not many comedians do, and I don't think that they really care. That being said, I find it hypocritical for the same posters who refer to Rachel Maddow as "him", "he", "Mr. Maddow" and so on to be throwing a hissy fit over a comedian making a sexual reference towards Sarah Palin. It's the era of double standards within double standards that we have come to expect from the right.

TOTALLY agree. Also the violence factor. Whatever sport you're watching, someone will start a confrontation ultimately leading to thrown punches, cursing, etc.

But that's just the point - he would never ask what it was because he wouldn't even remember the word long enough to ask me about it.

Wow! Sure don't know what kind of sports you watch, but I do not see this on a regular basis with the sports I watch.

lol He would turn and look at his daddy and say daddy what is masturbation. He doesnt have to remember it he can ask it right then and there

Let me ask you this. Do you have a problem with a family being able to watch say a sporting event and it being family friendly? Dont you want to be able to sit down with your child and watch something and not having to worry about them hearing something you dont think they should hear?

I really dont see the defense of this.

( Things like this and the attempt at defending it is why our country is becoming morally bankrupt and I dont see why more dont have a problem with that)

I mean come on dude. You can't honestly say you've NEVER seen football players up in each other's faces, shaking their dumb heads, and sometimes pushing each other? Or, you've never watched a hockey game where they regularly throw punches?
