Yeah I personally don’t think “time and place” should be too tall of an ask. And this is coming from someone that cusses a lot.
In certain work settings FOR ME it’s fine, in others it’s not. I try my best not to do it around my kids. But if I’m around my friends/family I’m generally letting it fly because that’s how most talk.
Doesn’t seem unreasonable.
I don’t think anyone on here is saying LaMelo (or anyone else) should change who he is or talk differently in the majority of situations; they’re talking about him cussing in a live TV interview.
Not cussing on live TV, when there’s almost certain to be young kids and people who are offended by cussing watching the broadcast, doesn’t seem like that big of an ask to me. Especially when it’s easy to avoid.
I'm less concerned about what they do in front of other friends in more intimate situations. But when a professional athlete does it comfortably on national TV without being checked, it sort of gives the impression to kids that it's acceptable regardless of setting. And young kids are impressionable. Especially when it comes to athletes, celebs and other people they look up to.
In my opinion.
I don't understand why this even has to be restated.
This whole, "It isn't hurting anyone so why can't they do it" approach to life is just something I don't get. Seems like there is a whole lot of that going on these days. Folks Just want to let whatever fly.
Folks can't be serious with this approach.
