Faldo - switched off right there.

Tongue firmly in cheek by our Peter, political correctness nonsense gone into overdrive again!

To me it is sexist but it's part of his generation's underlying way of thinking, it wasn't said maliciously so there's that to take into account.

It's the same argument as the Luis Suarez affair, he said a name/greeting acceptable in his culture which was not acceptable in the UK...

I don't think there's a right or wrong with these things, just media sensationalism re political correctness!

Ahhh yuk.... I guess it probably is sexist but the old chap is just filling air at that point and it seemed pretty harmless.

I thought she came off rather badly though. She seemed to be trying to take some sort of credit for his win (ish). She described the caddy as "our caddy". Also when asked "what now" she barked "Home!" "we are going home tonight" Damn... Let the guy enjoy his Major and maybe buy a few drinks and tell some lies at the bar....

Crazy.

Some people are constantly looking for a reason to be offended.

The worlds gone mad.

Light hearted banter

Nope your wrong there. If you listened to Zach he explained that they're a team, him his wife, his kids and the caddy.

And by that, I don't mean that there isn't a very tenuous link to what could be described as a sexist comment, just that anyone that draws the conclusion that that's what he was insinuating is looking for something that isn't there.

It's just sooooooooo easy to find a way to be offended!

I didn't see the prizegiving.....is God still in his team?

 

[patricks148]

Haha.

Nope, my wife was saying "here it comes, hes going to say it" but he never did.


@ Jacko G yes, he did say that... that is for him to say... its not for her to say!

Yes The Lord was mentioned. His faith means a lot to him so fair play.

Ahh my bad, he did not in his interview.

 

[duncan mackie]

absolutely ridiculous

anyone who can't see straight through any possible stereotyping in this case and context is the one out of tune with the world - not Peter.

did Orwell only get the year wrong - beginning to look that way

I'm pretty sure he did mention it. Also if its a "team" then I would suggest that her being part of that team is entitled to feel part of it and proud.

If she is cooking him lovely, nutritious meals in her (new) kitchen then she quite rightly is part of the 'team'

Hell yes, course. She came off badly in her manor for me, not a big deal, just something I noticed.

I wonder if anyone who is offended by this has stopped to think that, maybe, Mrs Johnson DOES need a new kitchen............
