Quote: Mookachaka "The Government and it's friends at Sky are trying to promote a multicultural liberal society, this is represnted by mass immigration and a total left wing biased TV network. Therefore if people like Gray or anybody else break this agenda, then they will be sacked, simplessss!!!'"


I think most here now consider you a complete moron but you never fail to reaffirm this in my mind.


Tell me what is wrong with a multicultural liberal society. I'll happily have this debate with you if you care you message me.

A left wing biased TV network?!?! Murdoch left wing? Are you high? I don't think I've ever heard something so utterly moronic.

Quote: ian c "I am in most respects agreeing with you, that is exactly what i mean i would not like anyone to speak to any of my daughters like that, the thing about the offside rule i am not on about, like you say things like that are said all the time, not saying it is right though.'"


I'd agree mate, it does not make it right.

What I'm saying is Gray and Keys work(ed) in an environment that is inherantly sexist to start with, sexism that not only do they not hide but actually use to sell their products. Sky Sports News has eye candy on for mine and your benefit - they know men don't want some ugly sweathog munter with manky teeth and hair like sore fingers reading the football scores with her pale saggy boobs sat on the desk and the remains of some breakfast in her facial hair. But if she can read an autocue and is an almanac of all things sporting, whats the problem, is she less employable? To Sky the simple answer is yes - because she's ugly. And that is discrimination all day long in anyone's book.

Imagine a man working for a company with a bad health and safety record (and one that makes little effort to change its ways) getting sacked for breeching the same H&S rules. Who is at fault? The individual or the organisation? A Tribunal would have a field day.

For me, what Grey and Keys did is largely irrelevant (I don't much care for either) - Murdochs lot are all p155ing in the same bucket; they can't hang 2 blokes out to dry like that just because they've got a sudden sense of moral gratitude to women and sexism.

difficult to disagree with any of that but I wouldn't say all the female presenters on Sky Sports are that brilliant ! Most of them lokk glam & gltzy but it's amazing what half an hour (or longer) in the Make Up Dept can do ! they could pobably even make my mother in law look half decent with a two day makeover ! icon_smile.gif
Re - Keys & Gray - it's all a question of appeasement,doing the PC thing to make it look good for the company - just like the FA did to Glenn Hoddle etc
Sexism & racism is still inherent in most european societies and will remain so - you can't change a persons thoughts,just disguise them and hope you don't make a c**k up and get found out.
The so-called 'exclusive' Keys interview on Talksport was a joke,i'm surprised they allowed him to repeatedly grovel and try to justify his actions - utterly pathetic...ironic really becuse that's where he'll probably end up !

Gray wasn't sacked as a direct result of the linesman/woman or the Charlotte Jackson stuff , he was past his sell by date and had upset the wrong people , all they needed was an excuse , and the thick sod gave it too them

quite right and it will be interesting to see if he takes legal action for 'wrongful dismissal' or whatever and how he gets on with it

I think he will, and reckon he'd win too.

If Sky crack on about lewd (and what he thought to be private) sexist comments having no place on television then his defence can just show them an episode of the universally accepted afternoon show 'Loose Women' as an example of this 'banter' - and thats before they start getting out the Sun, The News of the World etc.

Agree totally except I don't think it will get as far as a court.
A (Large) out of court settlement will probably see the end of it all with all parties happy.

Probably depends if SKY can put forward a load of witnesses stating he has been doing similar stuff for years , it matters not what Rupert Murdochs other co do as regards page 3 and the like , or even the SKY newsreaders and soccer AM , all those people agreed to take part in whatever they did

In terms of comments about the lineswomen it is relevent as the company was trying to take the moral high ground about sexism and women so looking at some of the features on some of the programmes it puts out would say it was being 'somewhat' hypocritical with those comments.

The leaked youtube footage of other non presentable TV material was 'timely' to say the least.

I suspect Grays lawyer(s) knows that and a total lack of comment from Grays team would probably underline that this whole issue will quietly dissapear with Gray turning up some years later on a radioshow or foreign tv channel a lot richer.

He will have got a good payoff as will his mate so I doubt either will take it further.

For me it was a boring programme anyways and a bit like that breakfast table chat in on a Sunday morning were noone ever drinks that orange juice.

I'd rather watch Star Trek.

There is a view on the far right that the BBC is a left wing biased service. It isn't. But Sky and left wing in the same sentence? Do me a favour. Try watching Sky News (or indeed read The Sun or watch Fox in US, totally left wing eh?)
Still seeing this guys abhorrent views on anyone a different colour than him, does it surprise that he doesn't really know what he is talking about?
