The video that got Andy Gray fired
Someone at Sky has been intent on showing the world just how awful Andy Gray is, first by leaking an audio clip of him and Richard Keys making sexist remarks about lineswoman Sian Massey, then came video of Gray making more sexist remarks about Massey with Sky Sports reporter Andy Burton, and now -- The Last Straw.
Already suspended for Monday's broadcast of Bolton vs. Chelsea, Gray and Keys still had their jobs after their initially reported comments. Keys helped his cause by personally apologizing to Massey while the evidence mounted against Gray in the form of a video from December where Gray harasses colleague Charlotte Jackson in the studio by jokingly asking her to tuck in the front of his shirt. As you can see in the video, she didn't find it funny.
From the AP:
"Andy Gray's contract has been terminated for unacceptable behaviour," Sky Sports managing director Barney Francis said. "After issuing a warning yesterday, we have no hesitation in taking this action after becoming aware of new information today."
Francis was referring to footage which appears to show Gray making a suggestive comment and gesture toward Sky Sports colleague Charlotte Jackson in the studio.
So that was the end of Andy Gray at Sky Sports. And now, it looks like Keys could be next after this mystery video leaker put out another clip of him making more inappropriate remarks in front of cameras. Have a look...
Keys questioning Jamie Redknapp as to whether he "smashed it" and can be found "hanging out the back of it" aside, Ruud Gullit clearly will not be distracted from his game of Brickbreaker, no matter what is being said around him.
