CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Two people filed complaints with the Federal Communications Commission regarding LeBron James' profanity-laden speech during the rally at the Cavaliers' championship parade.

The complaints against WKYC and WOIO came June 22, the same day of the parade, from a viewer in Cuyahoga Falls and another in Louisville. The players' speeches were broadcast live without a five-second delay and the profane language broadcast over the air.

James was speaking candidly about his teammates when he dropped the a-word, the s-word and several variations of the f-word. The speech surprised some viewers and elicited laughter from his teammates and some of the estimated crowd of about 1 million people.

The Louisville viewer wrote to the FCC and said:

"The station allowed Lebron James to repeatedly use profanity on live TV... Thousands and thousands of families were watching the broadcast. Countless children listened to him talk like a drunken sailor. This is completely irresponsible of the network to allow this kind of language on live TV!"

The Cuyahoga Falls viewer wrote:

"I'm very proud of the Cavaliers winning the finals. Happy, fun day in Cleveland OH! But then Lebron got up to speak at the televised rally, and the whole speech reeked of profanity. On live tv - many channels, on live radio broadcasts, in front of a live 1 .3 million audience of fans, including many children. Was so uncalled for!!"

The FCC did not respond to messages seeking comments. They did respond to a cleveland.com records request by saying that complaints do not necessarily indicate any wrongdoing.

The commission reviews complaints and can open an investigation to determine if a violation occurred. If that happens, they request the video from the TV or radio stations that aired the material.

The FCC defines profane material as language that is so highly offensive that its mere utterance in the context presented may, in legal terms, amount to a nuisance.

Profane language is not allowed to be broadcast between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.

The FCC says it considers the F-word and other words like it to be profane, but it also says that context is key in determining if a violation occurred.
