So you are quoting there 2 examples, what 30-40 years apart. So based on that you draw a conclusion?
I’m not for one minute minimising the Westwood cases, and fully condemn them.
But I also condemn cases that occurred in football decades ago, and also condemn cases arising involving players in recent years too. It doesn’t make me question the fitness of football clubs that employed those individuals.
That’s just one example. Lots of organisations and businesses, from the government down, have, over decades, cases of disgrace.
Many, many large organisations will have people employed in them who make bad decisions, along with some bad people full stop, along with many people who aren’t like that.
The BBC have done so much good for the culture of this country.
I won’t mention Dads Army,
Fools Horses, Edge of Darkness, Tinker Taylor, and all the other fabulous comedy & drama.
But I do think about the great sporting moments I grew up with experiencing via the bbc; I can still hear David Coleman describing Steve Ovett’s ‘blue eyes like chips of ice’ as him and Coe headed past the 200m mark in Moscow. All the World Cups. I can still see the Live Aid coverage now. I could go on and on. The fabulous music coverage on Radio 1, from the Friday Rock Show to the best DJ mixes on a Friday night.
The BBC had brought me so, so much pleasure and enjoyment over the years I can’t even begin to articulate or quantify it.
So for me, it’s posts like yours that are not fit for purpose.
(And yes, just for the record, of course punish where needed in cases like Westwood, just as you would in any organisation when that is uncovered, or cover ups are uncovered)
