Any particular reason you're "Doh'ing" this post @Lufti

Being over PC.

it's better to have a stay at home Mother rather than a career Mother can be construed as sexist. If you'd said stay at home Parent then fine but why limit caring for children full time to a female occupation.

Traditionally it's the mother out of both parents who stays at home to look after the kids. Nothing wrong with it being the other way around but his comment wasn't at all sexist considering the majority of people in that occupation are women.

If Tyson Fury is your barometer of PC then you've got problems dude.

Be interesting to see what the boxing board of control say about it today. Probably a fine and a ticking off.

I remember him being fined before for twitter comments to/about David Price

I'm sure he will be fined again - probably a slightly larger amount this time

He's been stripped of the ibf as he is going to fight klitchko rather than their challenger.

I thought he had a year to fight the contender? Surely he could manage both?

It's ridiculous but the IBF clearly have an agenda to get a different champion and make a different championship fight (as opposed to their belt being one of several being defended)

Exactly - there's not a boxer on the planet who has the skillset to overcome the arsenal of a pro wrestler

Erm. What?


You were using Tyson Fury's quotes as some sort of benchmark of what is or isn't appropriate to speak about women.

Calling someone out for being overly PC because they questioned Furys opinion that a woman's place is in the kitchen or in her back was the actual words.

Still believe that is overly PC?

Wow, who'd have thought a popularity contest on the BBC could create such debate.

The scary thing is that it's been a fantastic record breaking year for British sport with incredible achievements but you couldn't call any of them personalities and it all ends up getting sidelined by some homophobic loudmouth pikey who can punch people hard.

Murray - Single handedly carried GB to their first Davis Cup victory in over 79 years
Ennis-Hill - Became world champion only 13 months after giving birth to her first child
Whitlock - First male gymnast from GB to ever win Gold at the world championships
Froome - Won Tour De France while getting piss thown over him and contanstant harrasement from everybody yet maintained his calm composure and never reacted.

Personally I think Ennis-Hill should win it as she has done loads of great charity work outside her sport and the achievement of lifting Gold so close to having a child is simply incredible.

Hamilton & Fury should be nowhere near the top three...

Lol. You are mental. You don't even know what you are writing.

Talk about monkeys and typewriters.

Given enough time and typewriters you could....actually. No scrap that.

Tradition and majority.

Yep, that stops something from being sexist.
