http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/NBC-catches-Shaun-White-coach-having-vulgar-cha?urn=oly,220425Sean White's gold-medal winning was tarnished when NBC cameras recorded vulgar statements from White's coach, Bud Keene.
The NBC network recorded some inappropriate language between White and Keene before his last victory medal run. Obviously excited for the win, Keene spoke without thinking about the being captured on live footage and subsequently used some R rated language. NBC announcers Patt Parnell and Todd Richards apologized for the offensive language, blaming the energy running through White and Keene. But who should the blamed, the network or Keene? The conflict of whether Keene should be held responsible or the network, is the big question. Keene is not under obligation to clean up his language unless he is being interviewed by a network. The conversation was also between one grown man talking to another and was not directly spoken to the audience of 25 million.

The network should with out a doubt be held responsible for the R-rated language not being cut out. The coach was doing what may work for White in order to get him fired up before his big runs. NBC should always be prepared no matter what and the coach shouldn't have to censor what he says.Like the blog said, it was one grown man speaking to another.
