How exactly is this going to work, what time will this stuff air? I am thinking a ton of snooty parents are going to freak out with all the "violence" on TV and I really don't want to hear them whine.

[Ruddem]

Not exactly sure Chuck. I hear enough about all the violence on TV from my parents. They're absolutely stunned that they show any type of fighting, boxing, or wrestling on TV, especially at prime time.

I think it comes down to two things:

When a kid is not in the room, watch the stuff - what parents are going to sit there and let a 4 year old be up that late to watch adult type content. Their just bad parents, so its the over zealous parents who are all "no violence on tv" that whine and bitch to those that are good parents not letting their kids watch this til their mature enough to handle it, that end up getting yelled at for the bad idiots out there.

Prime-time or not, it is not my fault that a parent does not do the right thing and explain that sports are exactly that - sports, nothing more nothing less.

[Davey]

There will always be someone complaining about the sports that they show on television. If the parents are responsible and don't let their children watch the offending sport then shouldn't the parent be allowed to watch what they want after the kids have been put to bed?

[Ruddem]

It always irritates me to hear them and others talk about it like it's nobody's business to watch what they want. I think there's a little bit of personal reponsibility involved. You have to let other people live their own lives and watch what they want.

[tomas]

I'm not saying that responsible folk shouldn't be allowed to do as they please what I'm saying is that I get tired of those over the top people that complain about people like me that will watch this type of stuff, that bet on games sometimes and tell me that I am doing evil works and I'm going to hell for shit like this. Its just stupid, we all have freewill and for me that includes choosing what I want to watch when I want to watch it.

[chuck]

I used to know a guy that did UF on the west coast and he was pretty decent at it, even for small times stuff he made a good bit of extra dough. I am wondering what these ones are going to come out with seeing as these will be aired on broadcast type stations rather than just a local thing.
