Nickelodeon broadcast had a hilarious reaction to F-bomb dropped during Saints-Bears
ON A KIDS SHOW!
Heading into the NFL playoffs, the league billed the Nickelodeon broadcast of the NFC Wild Card round between the New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears as a kid friendly viewing experience.
And the early returns were overwhelmingly positive for the Nickelodeon NFL experience. There were funky graphics, slime animation for touchdowns and some surprisingly good commentary from the team of Nate Burleson, Gabrielle Nevaeh Green and Lex Lumpkin.
But still, this was live television. And NFL football is still a violent, contact sport that also includes plenty of live microphones to pick up language that doesn’t find regular air time on Nickelodeon. You know, like an F-bomb.
During the first half, we could hear a player let out an F-bomb within range of the official’s microphone. And the curse word was very audible on the Nick broadcast.
Leave it to Nickelodeon to have a great reaction of “Alright, let’s uh…”
Fans had plenty of jokes for the moment too.
It was inevitable.
