Eli Manning Flipping Double Bird on 'Manningcast' Drew FCC Complaints from Viewers

Eli Manning made headlines last month when he hilariously flipped the "double bird" during the Manning Brothers' telecast of Monday Night Football between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. But not everyone was laughing.

According to TMZ Sports, three viewers filed complaints with the FCC for Manning's blunder.

"Mr. Manning's actions are offensive to me as a viewer. It was also offensive as a Philadelphia native and sports fan," one viewer reportedly wrote. "There was young children watching that broadcast last evening."

The former NFL quarterback quickly apologized for the gesture, explaining that he was demonstrating the treatment he received from Eagles fans.
