It's a tad convenient that these comments have been leaked by Skysports, his employer, whilst he's in the process of taking the NOTW to court over all this phone hacking. Maybe it's a coincidence, who knows.
It begs the question how he was caught out at such a convenient time. Did the executives at Sky know about the commentators' sexist views all along and simply wait for the right time to stitch him up?
