Britain's television watchdog has rejected viewers' complaints about Wayne Rooney swearing into a camera during a goal celebration that led to the Manchester United striker being suspended for two matches.
While England's Football Association deemed that Rooney used ''insulting and abusive language'' during the match at West Ham in March, Ofcom ruled Monday that his outburst was ''not clearly audible'' during the live broadcast.
The watchdog added that the television ''camera cut away from the scene as soon as it became clear that (his) behavior was inappropriate''.
But Ofcom described Rooney's behavior as ''unfortunate as well as unexpected.''
