I know it's always been considered "rude" and footy players would cop a slap on the wrist and a fine for sticking it up at some bottom feeders from the opposition cheer squad after kicking a goal, but when did the middle finger become as bad as dropping a c-bomb in public? It's probably more in the states, but they seriously do that blurry thing over it every time someone does it on TV (which only serves to draw more attention to it and since everyone knows why the hand is being blurred, it seems kind of pointless to me to do it. I've always found it kind of a funny thing (the sort of tut tut rude things that were still ok to do to your parents and some of your teachers - admittedly you'd pick the right ones that liked a bit of banter) and I can't say I've ever met someone that would legitimately get offended at seeing the finger.
It should be noted that I see it happen on Sportscenter and stuff where a player will swear on the court (inaudibly) and they'll blur out his mouth when he says it. It's laughable, I think.
And since I have nothing more to add:
