I asked this question on Twitter and nobody has yet answered it.............
 
I read where Evra was labeled a sexist after he applauded some comments by woman pundit Aluko during one of the weekend games.
 
So it's safe to say he was agreeing with her.
 
So if Evra had disagreed with Aluko, would he have gotten slaughtered as well?
 
Wouldn't be a fan of Evra by any means, just curious for folks opinions on this.

WTF he was sexist because he agreed with her ? Confused

She made a point, he slow clapped after she’d finished. Twas seen as patronising.

Didn't see it. Does sound patronising, but would hardly call it sexist.

Saw it, commented at the time it was patronizing as f***.

I'd say he's rightly getting called out for it.

Now, to counteract the above piece of PC-ness, Alex Scott is an absolute ride!

I think certain particularly sensitive souls saw his clapping as condescending/patronising, however having watched the clip it didn't come across that way to me. Think the presenter kind of gestured to him in a 'not bad, eh?' kind of way and he just agreed really.
 
As you say I was left wondering how else he was supposed to react! Generally speaking I have a large enough dislike for Patrice Evra but don't think he did anything wrong on this occasion.

Maybe Evra was applauding as she'd made him a great cup of tea during the ad breaks

Haven't seen it but would he have acted as surprised/amazed and applauded if it were a male? If not (and I highly doubt he would have), it is sexist.

I just watched it and it is exactly how I would see it. Pretty disgusting from Evra.

Female host starts it off with an equally patronising "she's good isn't she".

Of course that can't fit the narrative of men bad women good, so we won't mention it.

Anybody offended by that is a tit.

aluko had done her homework and was very impressive in her detail. pretty sure evra was taken back by how good aluko was, but he should have been professional and not reacted in that way.

That's right it's the news part of Sport. Sports Journalism.
Correctly identifying the Industry is a route to challenging the equality Ground exclusion in the workplace.

What resources do National Union of Journalists or Soccer Writers Association of Ireland invest in challenging breaches of Equality Grounds in their industry (in currency)?

And of course, If it's about Media, shouldn't this be in the Whatever section?

I’m not one for entertaining the pc flock but this one is pretty patronising to look at FW.
