TNT Cost Kyle Petty $10 Grand

[The Voice]

What does the F.C.C. have to do with it?

If an over-the-air network airs a profanity during an NFL, NCAA, or NBA game (as cited above) and a viewer complains to the FCC, they can (and, now, DO) start an enforcement action investigation against the network that airs the bad word. Once that results in a fine--as it has recently--the network's going to go after the league involved.

But the Sonoma race wasn't broadcast on a network. It was broadcast on TNT, right? That's not a network station. The F.C.C. has no say in the matter in that case.

Kyle can say "What the *edited*" till the cows come home, and the F.C.C. can't say a thing. (about it)

That's right. I was responding to the post that said other sports don't penalize "players" for using profanity.

And with the recent court ruling... they can say it ANYTIME / ANY CHANNEL and nothing the FCC can do about it
(not so much WTF).. but other 'dirty' words...

FCC is appealing that ruling.

In that case, I stand corrected.

UPDATE: #45-Kyle Petty will not face any sanctions from NASCAR for uttering the “f-word” on television last week during the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway. Petty, who was serving as an in-car commentator for TNT Sports as well as driver last week, uttered the expletive during the opening laps of the race when a crash occurred right in front of him. Inexplicably, TNT aired the comment not live, but on replay, after coming back from commercial. NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said Friday that due to a number of mitigating factors, NASCAR won’t fine Petty points and/or money as the sanctioning body did to Dale Earnhardt, Jr. in 2004 after he uttered an obscenity in victory lane. Poston said the mitigating factors included that Petty wasn’t aware he was on TV at the time, that the clip wasn’t live but shown and replay, and the fact that the FCC recently loosened its own regulations regarding on-air obscenities.(SPEEDtv.com)(6-30-2007)

I think what all the 'double" talk adds up to that that TNT screwed the pooch, and aired a REPLY and Petty shouldn't be held accountable to TNT's screw up.
Kudo's to nascar for doing the right thing

Yeah Chris, that was a good "no call." 

And I for one am shocked, SHOCKED I say, to learn that Kyle is human.
