As a committed anti-sexist I applaud Sky Sports for the decisiveness in sacking Andy Gray over sexist comment he made about the female assistant referee Sian Massey.
The embarrassment suffered by Massey should not be tolerated, however she wouldn't have had to endure that had she been in kitchen.
Food for thought.

sacking is rather totalitarian. Even in as neurotic a place as the Uk.
Would you have said the same if the coments came from a lesbian?
Sacking people for private conversations is a bit much, although I wonder if this was more of a pretext than a real reason.
Yet the program 'loose women'...joke...on ITV is allowed to be openly anti-male. I have heard it defended on the grounds it is not directed an individual man....well that's alright then !
The Police don't act against Islamic agitators and we are told it's because we have to respect free speech and no matter how distatesful, we have to respect their opinion.
Perhaps Gray would have been ok if he had burnt a poppy, called British Soldiers Child Killers and burnt our National Flag.
Apparently upsetting women is now a sackable offence....do you ever anticipate a woman getting the sack for making suggestive remarks?

You had me going there.
There is a GREAT opportunity for whoever's got the rights to the Women's World Cup this summer in Germany. Make Keys and Gray the main presenters and encourage them to cut loose. I'd watch it...
