Spare a thought for poor Andy Gray who has been sacked by Sky Sports for being an obnoxious, sexist pig. One presumes that the emergence of all the video and audio evidence has nothing to do with Andy's recent request to discover if his telephone was being tapped by the News of the World, the owners of whom, also have a significant stake in Sky Sports. On balance, given his position, he deserves to be sacked.
Of course Andy was in good company. Football is renowned for its racism, sexism and homophobia. I wonder has it anything to do with its leadership. For example (and there are many examples), West Ham are currently owned by the pornographers , Gold and Sullivan. And good old Silvio Berlusconi, the Prime Minister of Italy, who has a fondness for underage prostitutes, is President of AC Milan. But best of all is good old Sepp Blatter, the Numero Uno, who occupies the top job in football, President of FIFA.
Ardent fans of Sepp will remember when he said that he thought female footballers should wear skimpy hot pants in order to popularise the sport. Sepp isn't just a sexist pig though. Following the recent selection of Qatar as World Cup hosts he suggested that gay supporters should refrain from sexual activities when visiting the gay-friendly state.
Good luck with the job hunting Andy. Give Silvio or Sepp a call. I'm sure they will have an opening for you!
