Phillies second baseman Chase Utley's use of the colorful adjective during the team's World Series victory parade on Oct. 31 has landed in the lap of the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC reports it received 26 complaints from the public about Utley's language, which was heard live, in the late afternoon, on at least five television stations and one radio station, KYW (1060). Nielsen Media Research estimated that more than 825,000 local viewers saw part of the parade on CBS3, 6ABC, NBC10, Fox29, or Comcast SportsNet. Utley, who would not face sanctions himself, addressed his language Monday during a news conference about his surgically repaired hip: "I tell all kids not to use that word. If they're 29 and they win the World Series, I think they can say that. But I definitely would say to all the kids out there, 'Kids, it's a bad word. Don't say it. And I'm dead serious.' " FCC gets complaints on Utley's on-air F-bomb | Philadelphia Inquirer | 12/18/2008
This country is starting to piss me off. Utley should have said..."So what. Go heck yourself." I like how he put it though....good for him.
QFT! And if your kid heard the word 'heck' for the first time when Utley said it then your kid is living a sheltered life. Open the front door, kick your kids out of the house, and away from the tv... let them experience life. :flipa: u dumb parents
this report failed to mention that the 26 complaints came from mets fans living in the philadelphia area.

Utley should be ashamed of himself Doesnt he know that hearing the word "heck" can cause a 7 year old boy to stab his mother to death For shame, Chase, for shame
