I am, in this, referring to Jermaine Jenas who last weekend returned to work for my radio station talkSPORT six months after being sacked by the BBC for sending inappropriate messages to female colleagues and the subsequent ridiculous over-reaction to his re-emergence, from certain quarters.
If Jenas has met the standards of a very significant news organisation who are well aware of the way people should and shouldn’t behave, I don’t really know why it should be drawn out as a four-act play by the people who are affronted by something that didn’t happen to them.
Jenas has lost his platform on The One Show which gave him a huge audience outside sport.
If the world had a more reasonable, balanced, pragmatic, fair and equitable outlook, I don’t think his reappearance on the airwaves would be controversial.
Jenas did an interview on the station last week with a colleague ahead of his comeback game as a match summariser at Aston Villa on Sunday.
