[NU Sports] ESPN should fire Lee Corso!

[Jason Singer]

Can't decide if you're being sarcastic or not...

I had no issue with Corso just like I had no issue with Eck when he screamed the "S" word a season ago while doing a game. The camera shows pro players and all coaches mouthing terrible words all the time and that doesn't stop the producers of these telecasts from zeroing in on them, knowing full well what's coming. I don't have kids, but I'm around them a lot. The f-bomb is dropped by them regularly, and if a parent can't take responsibility to teach them that what Corso did is not proper behavior then I can't see why an ex-coach, like Corso, who has never done anything like it for two decades shouldn't be allowed a break. It's the same silly argument that rap albums and video games are bad for kids. 

You know what's bad for kids? Parents who shirk responsibility. My parents had the Joy of Sex on the coffee table when I was very young. They also taught me to respect the rights of those around me and understand that sex is a privilege between consenting partners who care about each other. Not so difficult.
