Firstly, even if it was they should never have, especially not while working for a broadcasting company. You're in a TV studio surrounded by mics supposed to be acting as a role model, don't do that. Secondly it wasn't a joke if you listened to them.
If this had happen in the 1980's no-one would have cared!
Good job we've moved on 20 years then. In the 80s racism was rife on the terraces as well.

Have a look, you will find a lot of times that Keys has said things with a mic on.
Andy Gray is also in the process of suing the News of the Screws. Hardly going to go down well with Murdoch.
