Political Correctness

Well the Sky football presenters Messrs Keys and Gray have fallen foul of the political correctness brigade by making somewhat derogatory remarks about a female football linesman. Frankly who cares about a couple of old boys making silly and offensive remarks that were not intended to be broadcast. Clearly Sky does as it was the lead story on Jeff Randall Live this evening, if you can believe it, although it was cleverly used as a lead into McDonalds's sponsorship of grass roots football teams, training and so on and an interview with Ms McDonald (I assume no relation), the head of McDonalds in the UK. Surely having their words broadcast and thus showing how out of touch they are with present thinking would be punishment enough rather than suspension and other, as yet unspecified, but promised disciplinary action. Keys and Gray must feel like right idiots for having made such a stupid mistake. If I were they I would want to know which busybody made what were recorded private conversations available to Sky management. The person who shopped Keys and Gray is not someone I would like to have as a friend as you have to have a very strange mindset in my view to think that by telling tales out of school you are righting some wrong.
