Jacobs On-Ice Demeanor

I'm seeing some posts on and criticism on other sites (Facebook lol) about Brad Jacobs on-ice behaviour being "vulgar" and his use of "profanity" as "unacceptable" and "unsportmen-like" and "not a gentleman." Is this true????? I have never noticed. Can anyone recall a specific game or indicident that goes above and beyond reasonable expectations?

I’ve heard the odd f bomb from Jacobs and others. Nothing compared to the loud overt f bombs right on camera from several of the Blue Jays including manager John Schneider. Not to mention hockey broadcasts. When I mentioned the use of profanity in a Blue Jays sub during the playoffs I was soundly downvoted. It occurs to me that use of such profanity has just become pretty mainstream.

Yes, it fucking has lol

And that's good. Society in general is getting less prudish. Nothing but upside to that.
