Who the Bleep is Rudy Bleep?

by Tyduffy

Fox Sports.com decided to censor the name of former Connecticut and current Memphis Grizzlies player Rudy Gay, whom they referred to as Rudy BLEEP.  A censor program on the rampage?  A homophobic line editor?  Or, is Fox's political wing flexing its muscles?  You decide.

Thanks to TheBigLead for the tip.

A similar situation...an LSU professor of Patriots cornerback Randall Gay wanted to order his jersey. Apparently, NFLshop.com has restrictions on the names that can go on custom jerseys, so she couldn't get his jersey.

Foxsports.com has an automatic censor for their blogs that is probably more than often times correct when censoring the word "gay" from most of the articles written. I don't think it has anything to do with homophobia or Rudy himself.

then it should be smart enough to differentiate a player's name from the slur itself. If your name is Dick Johnson and you're a star athlete, you're toast on Fox Sports.

They can't ban the word Homo! Everyone knows Derek Jeter is a Homo (Sapien - turn the video off and the sound up!)
