However, we assume the C-SPAN crew members who tried to attend the event were welcome to say whatever cusswords they wanted in response...

Some 40% of visitors to NBA.com (which includes sites in Spanish, Japanese and, since mid-January, Chinese) log on from outside the U.S., and a million fans pay $10 a month to listen to streaming English or Spanish audio of almost any game...
