Description

When Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider dropped an F-bomb during a live post-game interview, the crowd cheered. Just days earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump used the same word on camera, when talking about Venezuela’s leader.


From politics to sports to pop culture, the F-word seems to be everywhere, In shows like Succession and The Bear, and even in everyday conversation. Some say it’s a sign of authenticity and emotion. Others call it a decline in civility and respect.


Our question: Do you judge someone who uses the F-word? How do you feel about more widespread acceptance of swearing?
