XFL debut features F-bomb on live broadcast, and fans go nuts

The XFL debut Saturday between the Seattle Dragons and DC Defenders is defying convention in many ways, including an F-bomb on the live broadcast.

Check out the delayed reaction from the folks in the booth, who didn’t press the mute button quick enough (WARNING: Adult language):

Danger of interviewing players after skirmish. Seattle player says “we were trying to get our f—-ing job done … “ Audio then cut.

"We're trying to get our f–king job done."

Live interviews with the players right after getting called for unnecessary roughness is a nice touch as well. Especially when they start cursing and ABC can’t bleep it out in time.
