Andy Gray sacked by Sky Sports

Andy Gray sacked by Sky Sports

Andy Gray has lost his job at Sky, after being caught making several sexist remarks off camera.

Gray was the main football pundit on Sky Sports, and was thought to earn at least £1m per year. He was first suspended along with presenter Richard Keys, after the pair were recorded making sexist comments about Sian Massey, an assistant referee. Gray claimed that women couldn't understand the offside rule, and Keys said that: "The game's gone mad."

A day later, more footage emerged of Gray making sexist comments to fellow presenter Charlotte Jackson, and Sky decided that his "unacceptable and offensive behaviour" meant that he had to go.

    WOOHOO!! I really didn't like what he said at all! I like watching football and to me it's not who does the job it's how they do it.
