By Brian Hews

Call it the F-Bomb being heard Coast to Coast.

The Los Angeles Kings celebrated their second Stanley Cup victory in three years with an epic parade and rally at Staples Center, and Mayor Eric Garcetti dropped an F-Bomb on live television, and the comment has gone viral on social media.

During his remarks, Garcetti, while holding up a bottle of beer, told thousands of screaming fans inside Staples Center: “There are two rules in politics. They say, never ever be pictured with a drink in your hand, and never swear. But this is a big f—ing day. Way to go, guys.” 

The crowd went wild and gave the mayor a standing ovation for more nearly 45 seconds. Later, broadcasters on Fox Sports West, which aired the live unsuspecting comments apologized for “inappropriate language.”
