Sexist Scudamore

[Chazza]

I see

So someone mocks me and its all gravy.

I have a pop back and use an image titled 'handbags' to ridicule me.

A little ironic to use the handbags mock in a sexism topic.

Dont want to address that for more than half a week nobody gave a ****ing toss about this?

****ing hell! chill out and get down the lap dancing club or is that sexist and ironic as well?

Or maybe it actually genuinely pisses me off that the figure head of a global billion pound brand is a sexist degenerate ****ing cunt?

As for this, in that case you need to get angry at virtually every major organisation.

Well, the premier league might have an opening soon

Do you always have to act the high and mighty ****ing prick?

Sounds like my kind of night in to be honest.

Richard Scudamore emails 'insult all women' - Rachel Brown-Finnis

England women's goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis says that emails sent by Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore are an "insult to all women".

Scudamore apologised for sexist comments made in emails after details were revealed by the Sunday Mirror.

Edward Lord, Football Association anti-discrimination adviser, said Scudamore's role looked "untenable".

"It's not just about women who are involved in football, it was an insult to all women," said Brown-Finnis.

"However jokey he was trying to be with that, it's just totally unacceptable in this day and age."

Prior to publication of the newspaper story, Scudamore wrote to club chiefs asking them to "judge" if they believed the content was "sexist and inappropriate".

Lord said that letter "completely undermines his apology".

Lord's comments were followed up by networking group, Women In Football, who have written to the acting Premier League chairman, all 20 Premier League clubs and the league's main sponsors asking for an "independent review" of the league's practices.

The letters are endorsed by the football anti-racism and discrimination charity Kick It Out and add that "an apology is not enough".

A Premier League panel will meet on Monday to decide whether Scudamore should face action.

Everton goalkeeper Brown-Finnis, who has 82 England caps, told BBC Sport: "It's zero defence for me. Private emails when are you head of the Premier League don't really exist.

"Is a sorry enough? Probably not, but I do think the way to move forward is for the Premier League to follow their protocols just like they would with other employees and I'm sure they have policies which would sanction him appropriately for his misconduct."

The FA's IAB is also set to meet to discuss the issue, although FA chairman Greg Dyke, who has described the emails as "totally inappropriate", said his organisation will not take disciplinary action as the comments were made privately.

Premier League sponsors Nike said the issue over the sexist emails was a "matter between Mr Scudamore and the Premier League".

BBC Sport has learned that title sponsors Barclays have made their views known to the organisation and have expressed their disappointment over the nature of the comments.

Scudamore's emails were seen by a former temporary PA, who leaked them to a national newspaper.

In a statement on Sunday, Scudamore said the exchanges were "private emails exchanged between colleagues and friends of many years" that should not have been accessed by the temporary employee.
He accepted they were inappropriate and added: "It was an error of judgment that I will not make again."

Meanwhile, the lawyer who exchanged the emails with Scudamore is being investigated by his firm, it was revealed on Friday.

I must say... that's a smashing blouse that you're wearing.

I wasn't mocking you by the way.

[ChesterDave]

I wasn't mocking you by the way.

Your "good night in" comment" came across very much as so. A jibe at alcohol consumption rather than addressing the poiint I was making

However repugnant we may think what he said is, as far as I know he hasn't broken any law. What may have been illegal is the theft and use of private correspondence.

I hate the public interest argument for invasion of privacy. I think the bar needs to be set very high to justify invasion of privacy, such as breaking the law. Not being a hypocrit. Let's be honest just about everyone is two faced and do and say things in private that they would never do or say in public.

It's a shame, no one is perfect, but many good people avoid high profile jobs and political positions out of fear for the invasion of privacy by media to satisfy a nosey public who then justify it because it's 'in the public interest'.

And then everyone says that they deserve it because they knew what they were getting into. Yes they do, but it's in the public interest to respect privacy anyway because a lot of good and capable people don't take important positions because they know what they'd be getting themselves into.

As I say, whatever his real views are and however repugnant his words might be the only thing that should matter to the public are his actions in office which is public information and can be debated.

If he has implemented any sexist policies, or clearly held back capable women from taking positions of office or done something to hinder women's football then he can be judged and called out on that.

That's my opinion anyway.

Agree.

And very well written too.

Whatever our opinions, you can't prosecute someone for being an idiot and / or having an opinion. And nor should we.

Scudamore is seeking to defend these allegations by claiming these emails were private. They were sent from his work email account, not a personal one. Join any company and you're given masses of policy documents and one of them will usually be an email policy, usually where the company is telling you it reserves the right to read your emails, basically saying "watch what the **** you write with your company email." He will have committed a disciplinary offence, probably not gross misconduct though.

Not at all. It was very much from the perspective of a kindred spirit. In jest, I might add.

Ah well.

[Venton]

Depending on the opinion you can prosecute them if they express it. We're not talking about prosecution here though.

[Lee]

Yeah.

You're all tossers.
