Which is worse?

[joeluke]

......the harmless sexist comments/banter/innuendo which Andy Gray was sacked for

or

calling someone a 'pa ki' which Anton du Beke was not sacked for?


The difference is football commentators are ten a penny so Gray was dispensable, whereas du Beke is one of the 'stars' of BBC's top show Strictly Come Dancing

I am gobsmacked that no-one picked up on the darts commentator the other week when the rather large lady from Wales was playing, and he said 'its not over till the fat lady sings, and the fat lady hasn't sung yet' or words to that effect. I think she would have flattened him if she had heard it.

I am a woman and I was brought up in an era when men were supposed to treat women differently. Women (not me) have themselves decided that they want to be equal with men. They use the same language as men and do the same things as men, drinking, swearing and living it up as they want to. They are entitled to do this, if it is what they like. But equally (in my opinion) they must accept what men say, especially if they want to say the same sort of things to men. Sorry if I offend anyone, but this is what I think, Andy Gray should not have been sacked as according to present day standards he did no wrong.
