Genuine question: does Sky get in trouble for broadcasting swearing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

“Sky TV, is fucking shit, Sky TV is fucking shit”

“Sky, TV is fucking shit, Sky TV is fucking, shit”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Volume mysteriously drops

Generic noise that doesn't sound like the crowd replaces it

Most homophobic club in England

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

once again sky prove that they are, indeed, fucking shit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Disgusting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

F word?

The words that are gonna be chanted begin with a C. Corrupt.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Would be easier to show it. By censoring it in the 10th minute, you're just going to get the crowd to do it again randomly for the rest of the match.

I mean they still might even if Sky don't censor them but silencing pissed off people rarely works.

Organisers of the protest against Everton’s ten-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules are calling on all fans inside Goodison Park to chant “Premier League corrupt as f***” in the tenth minute of the game.

I mean seriously, LOL at how shit this is.

If i was any good at memes i'd add the Leeds and Everton badges to that "First time?" Hanging meme

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Not in favour of this at all, but it would be kinda funny to listen to a crowd cheering and singing joyful songs all the while watching the actual crowd with angry faces doing the wanker sign

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I despise top level football.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

You'll still hear it. Theres always that delay before it kicks in and somehow it makes the chants even more noticeable

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Everton supporters are a loud and passionate bunch. I’m hoping they can overpower their fake crowd shit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Which F word? Hard to guess considering the sub upvotes cocksucker as an acceptable, civilized insult.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Thats propaganda

Sky Sports will take steps to prevent offensive language from a planned protest by Everton fans being clearly audible during the live TV match against Manchester United on Sunday. To comply with Ofcom’s rules, the broadcaster will even consider using pre-recorded crowd noise if required.

Organisers of the protest against Everton’s ten-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules are calling on all fans inside Goodison Park to chant “Premier League corrupt as f***” in the tenth minute of the game.

The broadcast regulator Ofcom’s regulations state that broadcasters should avoid televising material that could cause offence to viewers, and as the kick-off time is 4.30pm there are concerns that families and children will be watching in large numbers.

Sky Sports has had an internal meeting about the issue and insiders said it takes its responsibility to protect its viewers seriously and will look to mitigate any offensive language being heard on air. Any action by the broadcaster would be to ensure it is following Ofcom’s regulations rather than to take a position on a protest.

These producers thinking they can just hide reality at their whim because they think so little of regular people is both megalomaniacal and pathetic at the same time. Useless fucks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

They need to comply with broadcasting regulations. If it's pre-planned, they can censor it. It's why you immediately get an apology if a pitchside mic picks something up.

Complete non-story

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To be honest whilst i know i might get accused of bootlicking or something, I think its completely understandable why Sky would do that.

I don't know if they have ever been fined for it, but i know during the pandemic players swearing was a real issue for OFCOM and Sky/BT and had a lot of debate about it.

If theres not a precedent for being fined for crowd swearing then maybe its over the top. But maybe as its a planned thing they could face more trouble for broadcasting it because theyre aware its going to happen.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Exactly this. But Reddit will grab it’s pitchforks anyway because they’ll believe any headline they read without taking in any further contact

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s bad from Sky obviously but Everton fans complaining like this when they did just break the rules is a bit much

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

You were able to write off stadium expenses but we weren’t.

Nothing new for Sky, swear this also happened when for some daft reason they televised a Celtic game immediately after the queen died

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Sky sports slags

How are we this far into the 21st century and MFs still don't understand the Streisand effect?

"First time?".

If they want to succeed, they need to hire the WWE Employee who silenced all of their chants at Wrestlemania 32.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

As an outsider.

The protestors can only blame themselves here, you all know stations need to comply to certain rules, chant something else that they can actually broadcast.

I feel like I could post a link to /r/aboringdystopia to 90% of threads on this site.

I did work experience at Sky in 2002, they had me say "Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea" into a microphone and now I'm in a protracted legal battle to get the royalties I'm due for every televised game at Stamford Bridge over the last 20 years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

wait were canned recordings put to use since 2002? I thought it was a covid thing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t have a dog in this fight but Everton getting 10 points deducted with Man City going basically years upon years unpunished makes me think of the Jerry Tarkanian quote:

“The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky. they're going to give Cleveland State another year of probation”

No one at the top ever gets held accountable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

They’ve been doing this since the mid 00’s.

What a bunch of pussies
