Listening to Keys interview on TalkSport he has been well and truly setup. Taking the weekends events in isolation it really shouldn't have been a big issue.
What everyone here is totally missing is this kind of sexual innuendo/bullying/harassment is against the law end of, neither your or my opinion matters. If you don't believe me go and read your employment contract. You can get done for stuff a lot more innocent than this. I know the law, but I know when somethings being blown up out of proportion to hang people out to dry. At worst the events (not taking any other videos which has now appeared into the argument) over the weekend deserved a bollocking, warning and maybe cooling off period. Not front news press coverage  and a mass debate over women in the game etc... |

I know several people who have been sacked for a lot less, including a girl who was saying suggestive stuff to a bloke who took offence! The press coverage is just a side effect of all of it that got out of hand, standard newspaper tittle tattle.......... |

Yes they are within their rights so sack them both, but something does not add up and it does question wether sky have other motives behind this and not letting Keys have his say and apologise early on.

Same, same as in real life. If they don't like someone and want to get rid of them they will find a reason, happens all the time, people are only getting their knickers in a twist because its a high profile person. |

Lol Keys kind of made it worse with his TalkSport interview, James Murdoch on at the moment tho... says Andy Gray changed football because it was rubbish and boring before 1992 but fck with Dad's paper and see where it gets you...

Just want to point out that the FA do not have a single female on their board of directors and Sky have one single Dame on theirs in a minor obscure position. The FA control football and Sky broadcast football and both boards have clear gender bias towards men. There is a whole lot of fuss concerning a lame comment from some fat balding potato head football stats man who has zero power and is completely harmless to the development of women. But the people who have the power to make and shape the game have institutional and fundamental gender bias in their very make up. I really don't think we need to be taking lessons from these people ref how to treat women in the workplace.

Sorry to kinboshi. I didn't realise the made up msn conversation would cause offence.
I thought it would be pretty obvious it wasn't real. Obviously a misjudgement.

It would be a new dawn in TV gold if Chris Kamara got the gig, could you imagine him trying to work all the the new bits of technological nick nack Gray had at his disposal?

If people heard some of the convos we have at work I could be sacked. I work with a gay guy and a black guy. We get on great, I often make gags that people hearing in isolation would consider homophobic/racist however I'm fat and bald they give me stick and we all give and take it as much as each other (the gay guy takes the most).
I consider both great friends and in context it's all just banter. Out of context it would sound bad. I'm not recorded at work so fingers crossed I won't get the boot.
