I dont condone what Big Ron said but as Timewarrior said, Ron has never been a guy to mince his words, theres a website dedicated to his gaffes. Give the man his due, he faced the press and cameras the next day and apoligised. I dont think his apology was to try and save his job, he`s got plenty of money and doesnt need to work. It`s blown up out of all proportion over a stupid remark.
I reckon he`ll be back with Sky or channel 5 when all this cools down, he`s too good a commentator to lose forever.
