The XFL’s sideline interviews make for great TV, except for when players drop F-bombs

The XFL made a strong impression in its opening game on Saturday between the Seattle Dragons and DC Defenders, and fans are raving on social media over the league’s new kickoff system, and the in-game access to players and coaches. Conversations between the head coach and quarterback will be regularly broadcast on XFL games, and sideline reporters are free to roam the sidelines and interview players just moments after they make an impact play (or costly mistake) on the field.

In the first half alone on Saturday, the in game interviews delivered a few great moments. Seconds after missing a field goal, Defenders kicker Ty Rausa had to stand in front of a camera and explain what went wrong.

 

It didn’t take long, though, for profanity to make it past the censors, though. Immediately after being involved in an on-field dispute that produced an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, Seattle’s Dillon Day was asked what happened on the field and couldn’t stop himself from dropping an F-bomb.
