violence = okay.
bad language = not okay.

Very strange.

Dear FOX:
I would like the personally Thank You for censoring a finger from my television.
I honestly don't know what would have happened if America saw that finger.
We are not capable of acknowledging such an atrocity as this.
Thank You and GOD BLESS!

I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm siding with Fox on this one. Flipping someone off in the middle of the fight is poor sportsmanship and shouldn't be tolerated. Having UFC on Fox exposes the sport to an entirely new audience and someone who is unfamiliar with the sport seeing Diaz giving is opponent the finger does not make UFC or Fox look good.

I have no problems with the referees and commissions reinforcing some class into the sport. Classier fighters would draw better on Fox.

Maybe Fox should also censor the fighting that sometimes happens in NFL games. Or in baseball when the manager comes out arguing and yelling at the ump, that one can lip read a whole bunch of cusses coming out of his mouth. Aren't those also poor sportsmanship in those sports?

The point is, you will see poor sportsmanship in any sport. But they handle that situation with fines by the league. Maybe if the athletic commissions decide to start fining the Diaz brothers (who really are the only culprits of bad sportsmanship), they will think twice about jacking up their middle finger. Or maybe the UFC can stop giving them tv exposure.

My point exactly. In other sports when someone acts this way there are consequences. There should be in MMA as well.
