Richard Keys Quits Sky Sports Over Sexist Comments

Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys has resigned over sexist remarks he and colleague Andy Gray made about a female assistant referee.

The football pundits made the comments off-camera before Saturday's Premier League match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Liverpool.

The pair were caught criticising the decision to appoint Sian Massey as a referee's assistant and agreed women "probably don't know the offside rule".

Gray was sacked on Tuesday after another offensive incident came to light, this time directed at a female Sky Sports presenter.

Later in a statement Keys said he was "deeply sorry" for the remarks and any offence caused.

"It was wrong and should not have happened. I have thought long and hard and reached the decision that it is time to move on," he said.
