In this article it is a BBC journalist getting threatened to be suspended for over criticising the boxer known as Tyson Fury, The reason of this would be that before with Tyson Fury he came out accusations that Homo-sexual were like paedophiles. This made the journalist criticise him because Tyson Fury also got nominated for sports personality of the year. This was believed to be wrong to the journalist as what he heard in the mail interview, The presenter Andy West posted on his Facebook page he was “ashamed to work for the BBC” after Fury’s name was added to the nomination list.
1. The journalist is understood to have signed an online petition which has so far collected 124,000 signatures calling for Fury to be taken off the Spoty shortlist .
2. Local gay and feminist groups said they planned to picket the Odyssey Arena where the event will be staged.
3.The Northern Irish gay rights organisation, the Rainbow Project, said: “It is likely LGBT and feminist activists from Belfast and across Northern Ireland will engage in some form of protest should Tyson Fury remain on the shortlist.”
In my opinion i understand why the journalist criticised Tyson Fury as to the reason of being Homo-phobic and for trying to link it with paedophilia and thats not good because how does that represent a sports personality of the year character. In addition i have watched Tyson Fury fights and i believe that hes not a respectable person he is rude and arrogant. This would not be deserved to be on the list and i agree on the journalist to fighting for that.
