And the British have done it again.
Apparently the BBC is in hot water for one of its commentators using the word "rape" during a soccer match. The guilty party, Alan Pardew, and the BBC have been apologizing relentlessly following the incident Sunday.
Here's the scenario: A Chelsea player makes a hard tackle on a Manchester City player, leading to Pardew's wise choice of words...""He's a strong boy. He knocks him off - he absolutely rapes him."
Eerr...maybe something nicer would have been the way to go there, Alan. The truth is that I've heard this term before in conversation, but I don't want to see the backlash say Stuart Scott would get for saying something like that. Boo-yah is much better, right?
However there is a silver lining for the folks on the other side of the pond. I highly doubt most of the country was watching when something worse like this happens.
