FCC to Boston Red Sox Player David Ortiz: F--k Yeah (Video)

"This is our f---ing city," Ortiz said to cheers after thanking city officials for handling the terror attack. "And nobody going to dictate our freedom. Stay strong!"
And, apparently, nobody from the FCC is going to pursue any indecency enforcement, per Genechowski's tweet on Saturday:
