Piers Morgan pisses people off after telling female presenter reading the sports news is 'a man's job'

Piers Morgan isn't always exactly famend for sitting on the fence and staying quiet, but he is controlled to make an inflammatory comment this is formidable even by his standards on this morning's Good Morning Britain.

The sexist statement got here when broadcaster Charlotte Hawkins stepped in to examine the sports activities information on behalf of regular presenter, sports correspondent Sean Fletcher. As Charlotte brought the cutting-edge footballing information 15 mins into the display this morning, Piers gave the lady presenter a funny appearance, to which Charlotte answered pronouncing: "What's that search for? I can do recreation too!"

In respond, Piers replied: "Nothing, I commonly get asked to do the game whilst Sean is off. And these days, for some reason, they permit you to do it.

"Nothing, no, it is satisfactory," he introduced.

"Girls can do sport too, you understand," said Charlotte defiantly, before Piers sarcastically commented: "[It's] a bit sexist."

At that factor, co-presenter Susannah Reid stepped in, baffled at what the arguable broadcaster had just stated. "What? No, that is not sexist," Susannah talked about. "To say that girls can do matters too is the opposite of sexist."

And then came the Statement Of All Statements: "But it is actually a man's activity on this show because Sean is the sports activities correspondent – so in his absence surely I have to do it?" said Piers.

I mean, it shouldn't exactly be a marvel to hear some thing like that come from Piers Morgan, however by some means there may be some thing nonetheless quite incredible about the words "it is a person's activity" being spouted within the yr 2017.

I guess meaning Kirsty Gallacher, Clare Balding, Gabby Logan and the relaxation of the gifted girls presenting game ought to likely step down, too, then. Sorry ladies.
