No ‘Lez’ for Scrabble on ESPN

Filed under: — dan @ 11:00 pm

Heh, no ‘lez’ and no ‘redskins’. Doesn’t it sort of defeat the nature of the game, if you exclude certain words from play? Dang, lez is worth 12 points. Gotta remember that one. :)

In the final round, eventual champion Trey Wright played the word “lez,” which was on a list of offensive words not allowed during the tournament.

Normally, no word is off-limits, but because the games were being taped for broadcast on ESPN, certain terms had been deemed inappropriate, including the three-letter slang for lesbian.
