    I've hit the brick wall "ultimately and regardless" arguments. I never argued it was appropriate or that it wasn't a professional capacity regardless. I'm arguing about the direct comparison that was made in my original post which will still stand.

    maple, I'm referring to the Assistant Referee comment, I'm not sure we're on about the same thing.

    There is a difference between on air and off air in their profession. It's not the same thing. Ultimately and regardless, their comments rightly came back to bite them.

    cannot possibly be misconstrued as a comparison regarding general professional conduct and the comments that were made about Massey.

    This is a business decision made by SKY, I am certain there are a number of reasons Gray has been cannedapart from this. But if a woman made a stupid sexist or racist remark and her company sacked her, would you defend her so readily?

    Of course, it would be wrong either way regardless of gender, although i've heard is a bit of an arse from a few people so there may well have been other contributing factors.
