Following this unreprehensible non challenge of an antisemitism trope it must now be time that all presenters across the media were successfully trained in calling out all forms of racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia… and all recognised forms of bigotry.
Perry Groves and Jordan Jarrett Bryan should have taken this man to task but neither appeared to feel able to or want to. This is down to Talksport as an employer more than the two presenters specifically.
On top of this all schools across the UK should also ensure that none of their pupils have left school without a detailed discussion as to why bigotry is wrong and entirely unacceptable. Teachers must have it embedded within all teacher training and must show the competence to manage sessions before they are allowed to qualify.
TalkSport have now apologised and hopefully from now on their presenters will be better prepared if something similar should happen again.
We await with interest.
