Comments on: Stewart in hot water again after uttering obscenity on camera-UPDATE 2 http://autoracingsport.com/nascar/stewart-in-hot-water-again-after-uttering-obscenity-on-camera/ The place for NASCAR news and rumors where the discussion rages... Tue, 02 Dec 2008 22:23:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: 20Lovah http://autoracingsport.com/nascar/stewart-in-hot-water-again-after-uttering-obscenity-on-camera/#comment-26735 20Lovah Tue, 02 Oct 2007 03:15:31 +0000 http://autoracingsport.com/nascar/stewart-in-hot-water-again-after-uttering-obscenity-on-camera/#comment-26735 Why do people think Tony should be penalized for swearing on television when it was clear he didn't even know he was on live television?? ESPN should take the responsibility for shoving a camera in the face of a guy who they know is going to react just like he did. They didn't say, "Hey Tony, you're on live TV!" They sent a cameraman, by himself, without a broadcaster, over to a private/business conversation with another driver and expected to be greeted warmly? That's crazy! Especially since ESPN seems to have gone out of their way this season to irritate Tony. They call him a bad role model because he makes a joking comment about celebrating a win by drinking beer? Tony's 36 years old and can celebrate however he wants! He didn't say he was going to drink and then go drive, so why does it matter how he celebrates? (This was back in the summer, by the way) They shove cameras in his face just looking for a reaction and they're not happy until they get one. Well, they got one! Maybe ESPN should be fined for not employing the five-second delay on live broadcasts like everybody else does. This is almost the exact same situation that happened with Kyle Petty and TNT - he said the same swear word live on air when he was spun during a race. If the networks are dumb enough to switch to a live feed of a driver who has just been crashed by someone else, then they should pay the consequences. Not the drivers who react like any normal person would in a similar situation.

I don't have any idea why Nascar keeps kissing Tony's Butt, It seems like he could do anything and have nothing done to him. I bet Tony will shoot off his mouth because Nascar actually waited to finish the race and Nascar will have to kiss his butt and favor him the next race. Hey Nascar you should try to hide things better when favoring racers week by week. If a baby keeps getting it’s way then look how it’s going to act when it grows up.

You are right, we need more that take responsiblity for their children and not let others raise them for them. And, I did most of that by myself for five years before I remarried, so saying single parents cannot do it and use it as a cop out, you are so wrong.

Well it looks like Stewart was penalized after all! What Nascar wouldn't do, Karma took care of. Nothing better than seeing him throw his lil hissy fit by himself in the car! Ha!

Not necessarily me, but I do cuss occassionaly. But he knows better than to utter those words, because I am teaching him not to, big difference. I am working on my mouth, so that I am not a hipocrit. But the difference between myself and most parents that are out there now days, we expect the "stars" to raise our kids and not do the job ourselves. I have seen this with my own eyes, I have worked with kids that parents could care less. Basically what I am saying is, Tony is human, most people use those words, get over it, move on and find a real cause to run your mouth about!!!!!(getting off my soup box now) You know, I am not worried about my son watching NASCAR and hearing those words, because one, he hears them everyday.

I will apologize right now for my harsh comments. I don't think anyone is perfect as you said. I'm far from it myself. I also know in the heat of the moment words are gonna slip out. Tony, no doubt knows how to handle a race car, but why does he struggle to handle the media and his mouth? He's had way too many mishaps of temper flare ups, roughing up members of the media or here lately foul language. Yes it was on cable, but you can expect this kind of language on HBO, not on ESPN. Disney is a cable station, would you be alright with such words used on there? NO we should not accept the F word as common words used on TV. I think the more we are exposed to such and other crudeness, it desensitizes us all much less the kids. I still say ESPN should do exactly as Tony requested and not show him at all, especailly his sponsors thru out the entire broadcast and I bet he'll amazingly soften up a bit.
