@jamienichollsuk consciously censored his tweet. If @paddym67 thinks he is swearing then the whole idea of censorship becomes null and void

Firstly he put F**k (censored) not Fuck and F**k is seen in a number of tabloid paper on a weekly basis. Secondly the fact that he tired to include nikesnowboard is such a shit thing to do. “Funded”/”Tryout”, this feels like theKazuhiru Kokubo

Davenicholls – That’s why ‘governor’ is in inverted commas. It’s a governing body so, in a sense, he is a ‘governor’. As for swearing, it’s as broad as it’s long, isn’t it, ffs…

5 Points.
1.Any rebuke (if EVER necessary)should first be made privately NOT publicly as this only reflects badly on the whole organisation. “Wash all dirty laundry in private”.

2. Jamie works hard at portraying a professional public image and always is polite and gives time to the younger riders who look up to him.

3. In this case he starred out the letters and this is no worse than can be seen in ANY daily tabloid newspaper – the actual words can be seen and heard after 10.00pm on TV anyway.

4. Snowboarding is allegedly an “EXTREME SPORT” and as such some “wild behavior” is fully acceptable. Just look at any snowboard video for confirmation. We are NOT CRICKET OR FOOTBALL (anyway they behave in a much worse manner – adultery violence and casual racism anyone ???).

5. We are who we are bury this crap and move on
