It is kinda funny how few women are commenting on this. It's like - a couple of guys making that old "women and the off-side rule" joke. Again. Maybe they're sexist, maybe they're just old-school. It's just tiresome. Women hear that kind of "banter" all the time.
Football is the only sport i played beyond school and i'll watch it sometimes on TV (terrestrial/freevew) but i've never seen these guys and don't much care that they're gone. To them as individuals it might seem heavy-handed, and perhaps the dept were looking to get rid of them, but probably the only course of action for the industry once exposed. Ignorance becomes sexism when you cling on to it. These are media men, they haven't been living in a cave.
