Have a listen to Saturday's edition of Fighting Talk on R5 Live here and move along to 41 mins in.
Here is the text of my complaint to the BBC.
" Complaint Summary: Dreadful misogynistic remark by a panel member.
Full Complaint: when asked about the Mansfield Town FC chairman's next actions after giving his manager his old Aston Martin following a big win, one of the panel suggested that should they win by a bigger margin in the next game, the chairman has an attractive wife and maybe she should be next.
I really can't believe that the BBC would let this nasty, discriminatory remark and it's revealing attitude be broadcast. Fighting Talk is a 'comedy' about sport. Reducing ANY woman to the status of 'goods and chattels' to be used to 'recognise' a sporting outcome is breathtakingly offensive. The panel chair said absolutely nothing in response.
Is this show aired 'live'? Is it recorded? Either way it was an utterly shameful remark. I've liked listening to FT over the years. But lets kick blatant sexism OFF sports programmes. I'd be interested in hearing an apology prior to the next show."
Surely this can't go uncommented on?
To complain just go on the BBC website and search 'Complaint'. Everything follows on the from there.
