Just talking with friends about something related last night, though the opposite of what you're saying: how, post-Trump, "fuck" is all over CNN now, even early in the evening. Bill Maher uses it liberally and they leave it in. I swear like a truck driver, but, irrational though it may be, I don't like hearing it on a news network. I guess that's the teacher in me.

I'll probably get grief from someone for "swears like a truck driver." My dad drove both milk and bread trucks at various points. Just an expression.

I do! Especially behind the wheel, but pretty much all day long. Mostly to myself, and mindful of who's listening.

Anyway I understand a blanket prohibition but I guess curious about the blanket policy even if the word is partially redacted as it is here. Someone pointed out during the Jays series in Toronto that Sportsnet (?)had a closeup of Duran at the plate and they quickly cut away when they realised his wrist wraps(https://www.instagram.com/p/C4Op7q9OfpB/) were in full view lol

Another solid start by Skenes. He's obviously a cinch for the ASG, right?

i’m happy duran is doing well and playing well, but honestly needing to wear stuff emblazoned with ‘fuck ‘em’ because ‘it means so much to’ him is kinda pathetic

you read the thing about this being his personal mantra against the times he was suicidal right

Calling all math majors: please calculate the probability of a .300 hitter (where he was when the streak started) getting 12 consecutive hits.
