One thing I will be interested to see is just how “social” it will be. There is little clue in the press release or related material on “social” features except for the buzz word “consumer generated content”. I imagine it would be a lot cheaper for them if they supplement their professional channels with a “football in the groin” channel, that will surely keep them coming back. On looking closely at the screenshot I see a channel called “bud tube”, I wonder what that will be?

Sounds like the author is upset about some type of media that includes consumer-generated (rather-than professionally generated) content. "Football in the groin" is a reference to the many television shows that feature viewer-submitted home videos, the earliest and most famous of which is "America's Funniest Home Videos". These shows seem to invariably include footage of men being struck in the groin (typically by children) in sports accidents. The author apparently disdains this type of humor.
