What is the reason that Alex Ferguson does not give interviews to the BBC?
Q. Have the BBc upset him in some way, I seem to recall something, but not sure what.
Asked by Graham G - Tue Aug 28 06:39:50 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In Nov. of 2000, Sir Alex Ferguson, banned the BBC from post-match interviews after two broadcasters made critical remarks about his team. The breakdown has become increasingly noticeable and provoked complaints from viewers. The Match of the Day producer, Niall Sloane, is to meet United's new chief executive, Peter Kenyon, on Thursday to try to settle the dispute. Sir Alex imposed the ban because of remarks made by the broadcaster Pat Murphy in the Match of the Day magazine and passages in the Radio 5 Live commentator Alan Green's autobiography, which were critical of the team.

Why is womens football world cup getting coverage on the BBC and Eurosport?
Q. Are the BBC and Eurosport afraid of being called sexist? This is political correctness gone mad. I was flicking through the channels a few nights ago and I saw womens football world cup on BBC, and the standard was god awful. Not to mention that most of them are ugly and probably lesbians. It was some of the worst football I've ever seen in my life. I'm all for equality, but women and sports don't go well together. Now if all the women at the world cup were replaced by models in bikini's rolling around on the grass, then I might change my view on womens sports. Ok the quality of football would be poor, but womens football is lacking in quality anyway so we wouldn't notice any real difference.
