Zac Brown: You just have to not put everything on the air

      The problem of foul language getting into the live broadcast during sporting events has existed for as long as television has been around. It has always been dealt with in the same way - with a slight delay in the broadcast so that the editor could "jam" the overly colorful phrase. But FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem decided to fight the source of the problems - the athletes. Similarly, the organizers of big tennis tournaments act in a similar way, but there everything is simpler - if you say a swear word, you get a warning, if you say a second word, you get a monetary fine, which is quite affordable for wealthy athletes. And no politics, no comparisons with rappers, no "community service". In part, the problem is exacerbated by the fact that every year in FOM strive to provide customers with the highest quality product, in which the start of the broadcast is held with minimal delay, so that what happens on the track does not diverge from the official timing, including in the broadcast emotional statements of the drivers. The head of the team McLaren Racing Zak Brown suggests the most innocuous solution to the problem - to remember the past and either "lock" swear words, or n You won't see Michael Jordan in the NBA, other athletes or executives expressing themselves at events like this. I believe it is inappropriate and we should set a good example. It is different when it happens during a track meet. In soccer or baseball, we don't hear the athletes' remarks simply because they don't have microphones attached. We have the ability to hit the delay button or simply keep a phrase off the air. You have complete control with the simple push of a button. If you think what is said sounds too rude or inappropriate, just don't broadcast it. I believe that showing emotion, passion and intensity is the right thing to do. You can't ban riders from swearing while wearing a helmet. You just have to press a button in the studio if you are not satisfied with something".
