Bottom line is that they are my kids, they are my responsibility. That's what this controversy is about.
It isn't about what Dr. Spock or donh would approve of or not approve of.
The "hue and cry" is from normal people that have kids that are ticked off about nipples during family viewing hours. They have the right to free speech and they are voicing their opinion.
That you disagree with them about their outrage and/or their perceptional differences between a football game and an exposed nipple is absolutely irrelevant.
Don't you feel it is a little elitist on your part to presume to tell other people what they should or should say? Even after you have made your opinion know to them (which is your right to free speech) and they say, sorry I don't agree with you...isn't it arrogant to say that haven't debated you properly? Citing Dr. Spock, as if he is the only person that ever wrote a book on raising children, is supposed to be your intellectual sledge hammer to convince someone that you understand raising kids better than they do?
Come on, don. You raise your kid(s), I'll raise my kids. You don't watch football on TV, I will. Who knows? Maybe our kids will meet someday and iron out the differences.
Interesting discussion.
Indeed. Including their opinion that the FCC censure and punish all and sundry, at which point I get off the boat, because having a 400 lb gov't gorilla sit on you for artistic expression a very far cry from free speech.
It may be irrelevant to arguments about free expression and the Constitution, but it is quite obviously relevant to this thread.
Kindly site where I have done so.

Excuse me, dinging me out of the blue, and then refusing to debate, is an example of ME being arrogant? Think again.

Oh, come now. I did not cite Dr. Spock. I merely used his name rhetorically to try to drive the point home that there are some pretty questionable traditions that have grown up around cheerleading and football, at the professional level, that are uncomfortably close analogs to what JJ and Timberlake did. Why else were the powers that be able to pursuade themselves that letting JJ and Timberlake slobber on each other, breast-peep or no, in public, was a perfectly acceptable half-time show?
