What Parents Need to Know
About Pros vs. Joes
Parents need to know that this sports competition series pits professional athletes against amateurs. It includes a lot of back-and-forth insults and stereotypically macho behavior, such as crotch-grabbing and aggressive butt slapping. Jokes and insults often employ "sissy"-oriented language (like calling a man a "she" or joking that a pro football athlete played for the Cowgirls instead of the Cowboys). Women in bikinis occasionally appear as window dressing, and the camera sometimes zooms in on one of their body parts for emphasis. Athletes exhibit some poor sportsmanship, though teasing is generally lighthearted in tone.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about athletes' behavior. Have you seen or experienced the kind of trash-talking seen on the show in your own life? What motivates it? How much of this type of behavior is just harmless fun, and what's completely uncool? Are certain sports more competitive than others? Do some come with a harsher attitude than others? Why?
