Is this ever? Or just since it become a problem in your imaginary world?Ok, I'll throw down a glove...
Please name me of one instance when someone that isn't straight, white, male & old has been replaced by someone that is all of those things. And that's not just in radio. I'll be generous and say any area of media.
If you can't, then please give the next best example.
Gladiator 'ref' Clattenburg also had some 'interesting' opinions about women referees and fitness on a podcast a few years agoIncidentally, new Gladiators. Hosting duo of a woman and a black man replaced by two straight white men, one of them old.
A welcome respite from the click-bait merchants and 'ex-pros'. And they've had lives/careers beyond football. Last of a dying breed I fear.Hawksbee and Jacobs are very good indeed.
Genuine question, why do you care so much?Greg James is younger than Grimshaw. So not total box tickery.
You said old, Not older. By the way if they wanted to replace Ken Brice with someone older, They'd needed to dig up JY or Fluff Freeman!And that's how much older than Bruce?
Has it occurred to you that one of the reasons this is so difficult is exactly because the overwhelming majority of those in prime roles in the UK media are straight, white, male, and old?! Please give me one instance of a female manager of an EFL club being replaced by a male one – the fact that you won't be able to doesn't demonstrate 'political correctness gone mad' but quite the opposite.Ok, I'll throw down a glove...
