My two boys are now 14 and 16. When they were very young, I searched high and low for sports I could watch with them. The very last NBA game I have ever watched featured Charles Barkley hollering "f*ck you" at a fan, with his face taking up my whole TV screen. I think my boys were about four and six at the time. Now don't get me wrong, I can appreciate a well-rendered "f*ck you" as well as the next guy, when circumstances dictate. Just not in front of the young kids. In the end, I wound up watching Winston Cup. I really hate when people use the tired old "it's for the children", but I think in this case it is. Families need things they can watch together with NO chance for this. Not even the Superbowl fills that niche anymore. I applaud NASCAR.
