For the folks who don't believe that people still scorn women in certain careers...Sky Sports football commentators Andy Gray and Richard Keyes, were caught off-air in this conversation about female Line Referee, Sian Massey, during the recent Wolves vs Liverpool match:
RK: “Someone should get down there and explain the offside rule to her”
AG: “Can you believe that? A female linesman. Women don’t know the Offside Rule”
RK: “Course they don’t. I can guarantee you there will be a big one today. Kenny [Dalglish] will go potty. This isn’t the first time, is it? Didn’t we have one before?”
...
RK: “The game’s gone mad. Did you hear charming Karen Brady this morning complaining about sexism? Do me a favour, love.”
Don't believe me? Hear the audio recording here.
Will these morons be sacked? Nah. Would they be sacked if they had made racist comments about players? Yep.
Here's a link to explain the Offside Rule for people who are not qualified Line Referees. No doubt it will also greatly assist any qualified Line Referees who are also female.
