How THICK is this "reporter". Should he ever be employed as a commentator again ?

Question

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1048912/BBC-apologises-football-reporter-makes-jibe-Spanish-air-crash-match-commentary.html

I´d sack him in a flash. He may well be sorry now but it´s quite clear that for a supposed "journalist" he lacks the basic communication skills.

His excuses make it worse. " I honestly thought I was being descriptive"

Answer 1

Sacked from the BBC, more chance of seeing god.

Answer 2

I would call it a very unfortunate slip of the tongue. Bad judgment and quiet crude- yes. Reason to fire - no.  

Answer 3

Should sack him straight away

AJ

Answer 4

It doesn't seem a big deal to me. Sports reporters must be given a wider range than informative reporters have. It's what makes you listen to them instead of the their competition. Somebody laughed at that comment guaranteed.

Answer 5

The guy is a total loser and should be fired and barred from working in any news agency in any capacity. He is only apologetic since he was caught and learned of the reaction. Descriptive my a$$. For that comment to even occur to him, denotes a lack of any common sense or decency.

Answer 6

Complete idiot. He should be sacked right away.

Answer 7

Since it was live, I'd give him a pass. It's not like he compared a world leader to Hitler. He didn't fabricate a story out of thin air about racism or homelessness. He didn't involve himself in one of hundreds of slanderous accustaions that occur every day in the media from people who actually take the time to write their articles. He screwed up! Get over it. You s***w up every day by not turning off this trash you fill your minds with.

Answer 8

Can't be bothered clicking but ur talking about the "Spanish Airline" footie commentator

Yes he is a k**b the media is full of k***s

Answer 9

he should be sacked  

Answer 10

What an idiot. Should be sacked immediately.  

Answer 11

d**k Head springs to mind

Answer 12

Terrible but I did laugh when I read it.Sorry.

Answer 13

How exactly is that comment being "descriptive?" It's not, thats a pathetic attempt at excuse and the bloke shouldn't have his job, you're right. Never mind apologising, if the best "reason" that you can come up with is that, then how much do you mean the apology??

Answer 14

Sadly coming from where you and I do we have seen this kind of hurtful crassness for many years.

Gallows humour is one thing but this is unacceptable.

Sack him . Just hope the people affected don't come to hear of it .

Answer 15

His reply is, 'If people are offended by what I said, then of course I apologise but I never intended to offend anyone.' Meaning, he still doesn't think it's offensive, and it's other peoples' fault for being over sensitive. That seems to be the common attitude these days. Like, what? Not my fault, you're being touchy, can't you take a joke?

Answer 16

The BBC should sack his sorry a55.

Answer 17

I agree with you 100% there is no excuse for that kind of commentary the man is obviously an idiot, I too would sack him, his remark was in the poorest of taste.

Answer 18

The blighter should be flogged with a cat of nine tails and put in the public stocks for at least a week. Or next year send him to Spain for the running of the bulls as a participant, if we're lucky he will get gored by one of the bulls.

Answer 19

"Immediate sacking offence is that"! (Richard Cranium indeed) What a total tosser.

Answer 20

Freudian slips reveal a lot about people and the way they think! He should be dismissed immediately for professional misconduct.
