I agree. From a big follower of football I really have very little interest in it now for a number of reasons, not least what you said above.
But 'one crude remark' and Andy Gray was formally warned. A second and third crude remark then came to light and it was no longer a single instance - I really don't think Sky had any option (even if it was a desire of theirs to find an excuse for a sacking already). Like all organisations they have rules and they can't seem to bend these rules regardless of who for.
