Most TV sports shows have been dominated by men since the dawn of time, and you could count on the fingers of one hand the number of presenters who have been disciplines for misogynistic statements. Also, I suspect if one of the women presenters on this show says something like "yes, terrorism is bad, but we should also look at some of the things about those firefighters and policemen that made their deaths on 9-11 partly their fault" that they probably would do a few days of non-paid leave. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
