1. What is offensive about that statement?
2. Why do presenters apologise for something somebody else says? |

Almost all of the people watching these racing channels are over 18 anyway.

Surely it should be perceived as a compliment!

TRAINER Jason Ward faces investigation by the BHA after making comments on AtTheRaces deemed to be racially offensive.
After Monte Cinq made all in the opening 5f maiden at Wolverhampton, Ward was interviewed on the channel and used a racial stereotype while discussing the horse. After the initial consternation on social media had died down, the BHA's media manager Robin Mounsey said: "We are aware of the incident and will be taking the appropriate steps in relation to this matter. "There is no place in British racing for racially offensive language and we are taking this matter very seriously." Monte Cinq was Middleham trainer Ward's first winner since September. The 10-1 chance was getting off the mark at the eighth attempt, having been second at Newcastle a fortnight ago. |

Pretty stupid thing to say in this day and age of political correctness irrespective of what anyone thinks.

More pc sh!t. Nothing to see here, move along.

People in authority telling us what we can and can't say, and in turn telling us what we're meant to be offended by.
This is exactly how Nazi Germany started... |

When you've got yer arse in the air shouting gibberish 5 times a day they'll be happy GEORGE.

By:
BHA are going to investigate - this on the same day that they've written off over a third of the sentences being served by Anthony Knott and Anthony Callow for misuse of inside information because they are too incompetent to correctly administer their own disciplinary procedures and believe it would be a waste of time and money to try and reapply those procedures correctly.
|
|
By:
Yes, I have seen 3 very suspicious rides today... SP manipulations at Kempton, written off sentences... but lets look into an off the cuff remark where no one is really offended.
|
|
By:
I wouldn't have thought the investigation ought to take very long. It isn't as if he can deny making the comments! But I agree I would prefer to see the instituional corruption in the sport being properly dealt with.
|
|
By:
I just can't believe anyone would say anything like this these days in front of a reporter, whether you think it's ok as banter is irrelevant, this sort of thing is always going to be blown up massively.

By:
I agree BB - but they don't need any investigation or probe, just a decision to determine whether the remarks are racially offensive or not, then a tariff which automatically applies a fixed penalty for the offence.
The way it's reported by the Racing Post does n't even make it clear which rules he might have broken and what offence he might be charged with. The BHA opt for a knee jerk reaction to pander to an outcry on social media instead of taking a little time to establish a considered, holistic response. I'm not defending Ward either - I think the remarks were unfunny, unoriginal, unnecessary and embarrassing. I accept many on here do not find them offensive but there will inevitably be those that do - Linford Christie took umbrage about references to his 'lunchbox' 25 years ago and the world has moved on since then. |

I hope they don't think i'm playing on the description |

Aye, but soon we're left with a world where everyone is walking on egg shells.
