If some cheeky female athlete was interviewed by a handsome male tv worker and said the same thing in jest/slightly tounge in cheek would the same fine/uproar still occur?
He has got previous for this but for anyone who has lived in the west indies will know most guys out there have never found a woman they don't think will fancy the pants off them whether they are famous or not.

I think gayle missed a spot later in the interview when the lady started mentioning his 'sore hamstring'. Thought that was an amazing comeback from her if she really was feeling the pressure of Gayle and a natural tap in for an alpha male like Gayle to fire back another sexually explicit comment. He is losing his touch. I thought she might actually be playing along with him for a second when she came back with that to put him in his place and see if he had the balls to fire another sexist bullet.
