Sexism in Football

I watched a report on it today and they tried to put it on a par with when Ron Atkinson was sacked for being racist when he was overheard referring to black people as niggers.How any right minded person can even start to class these two situations as similar is beyond me.

I get a feeling that Sky have for some reason wanted rid of Andy Gray and this was the perfect oppurtunity.

sky football will be poorer for not having andy gray
and im sure it has the reverse affect on women when this sort of knee jerk action is taken
the comments gray made would have faded away
but now this woman will have this cloud over her head for ever

Thank god that Gray has gone!

Now us woman can hopefully have eye candy Jamie Redknapp to look at full time. :P

Sexism is on par with racism so like Atkinson, Gray deserved to get disciplined.

But Gray got the sack for his revolting comment he made to the woman about tucking his microphone in in his trousers. If that hadn’t come to light, then he would probably have kept his job. Any bloke in any office would probably get the push for that.

As for Sian Massey – why would there be a cloud hanging over her head – what has she done wrong??? :roll: :roll: :roll:

On the contrary, I think you’ll find thousands of fans will be pleased he got the sack.

You are assuming that football in general is behind Andy Gray – I don’t think they are. Read Dalglish’s comments on the matter:

And these:

Gray is an outdated dinosaur. Sport is suppposed to break down ALL barriers.

And it’s Gray’s and Key’s career that has ended – all Sian Massey has done is to prove she can do her job very well.

papers get on the band wagon
