Yes, Jermaine Jenas was stupid, but she has fulfilled her punishment and, nevertheless, the mafia of the cancellation culture still wants to burn it in the stake: she deserves her second chance, writes Simon Jordan


The man makes a mistake, suffers consequences and needs to correct behavior. I agree with that.

But if the objective is to destroy them completely, and if that is not enough to burn them in the bonfire, I think it says both of the right critics and the original perpetrator.

I am, in this, referring to Jermaine Jenas, who last weekend returned to work for my Talksport radio station six months after being fired by the BBC for sending inappropriate messages to female colleagues and the subsequent ridiculous reaction to her reemergency , from certain rooms.

I am not too interested in deliberating subjectivity in whether Jenas is a good expert or presenter. However, what is more important, I think, unless it is guilty of a crime of which there can be no rehabilitation, people who have made mistakes of judgment should be redeemed.

Personally, I had no problem working with Jenas if the station asked me. I would judge it only in case the words that came out of their mouths were interesting or not!

To make it clear, I am not apologist for unacceptable behavior towards women, since we are in a society where domestic abuse and other despicable things are increasing. I have a little daughter and I consider myself very aware of the challenges. I do not take them lightly.

However, there must be a point where the consequences for the people who have wrong do not have to continue forever.

The details of Jenas's messages have not been made public, although his statement that “did nothing illegal” is not challenged.

Nobody likes the idea that Jenas sends sexualized text messages, but it is not as if it were unpunished. He was grouped from Day of the day Where he was the favorite to take care of Gary Lineker as the main presenter and The only show that had given him a platform out of the sport that reached millions of houses.

Undoubtedly, he has lost commercial opportunities and his reputation, but, even more significantly for him, he probably caused chaos in his home and great anguish life for his family.

So what is the next step according to those who are not yet satisfied and want even more compensation? As I mentioned earlier, burn it at the bonfire? In the end, listeners will be the ones who determine what they think of Jermaine Jenas. If you don't like it, they will go out.

Undoubtedly, Jenas has already suffered a lot, even if he self -inflicted. His greatest challenge in the future is to see with his personal life and those relationships with his wife and children. So I don't understand that people are offended on behalf of others to try to end their professional life as well.

I am extremely precious and protective with whom I am associated both personally and professionally, but I have no problem with which Talksport gives him a chance.

I was not consulted in advance, but, perhaps unlike other employees or in my case a hired relationship, I would not have hoped to be.

Do you want to do a straw survey every time an executive has to make a decision? It makes no sense: it cannot execute all aspects of business through consultation.

If Jenas has complied with the standards of a very significant news organization that is very aware of the way people should and should not behave, I really do not know why it should be presented as a work of four acts by the people who are Faced by something that did not happen to them.

Jenas did an interview at the station last week with a colleague before his return game as a summary of the game in Aston Villa on Sunday.

He was exhaustively questioned and described his past actions as an “error” and “tremendously inappropriate.”

I am not sure if I was him, since he had done everything before, he would have wanted to sit there and have been examined and potentially judged in such circumstances. But there you are, I suppose those are the consequences of bad behavior, they think 'new colleagues'!

The important point is that Jenas has the right to redemption. Given the reaction that creates in today's weather, I would suggest that it is brave and commendable that the station delivers that opportunity.

If the world had a more reasonable, balanced, pragmatic, fair and equitable perspective, I do not believe that its reappearance in the waves is controversial.

I find almost incredible the lack of self -awareness in certain publications that have repeatedly criticized Cancel Culture, but now they seem to be supporting what they pretend they do not like, because they feel they have the moral terrain through a series of pontifications, pious articles and Condescending, or perhaps that is the modus operandi of certain broad leaves.

Is there an argument that perhaps it could be a bit more aware of the people who were the receptors of their unwanted sexual texts, instead of only the effects on itself? Probably! But there is a part of me that believes even if he wrote an apology in his blood, that would not be enough for certain motivated factions.

I saw it at reception at Talksport the other day and we said hello. I don't know him well, for me he is someone who seemed to be doing a decent job because he got a lot of work and then set fire to his career due to stupidity.

For the rest of us, we must continue with our business and let it continue with yours.

Those who complain, suggest what he should or should not say or suggest that he does not deserve any future sustenance, I cannot avoid finding how perfect they are in their lives.

Why Ange must adapt

I am perplexed that managers such as Ange Postecoglou know the importance of short -term results, but still prioritize long -term philosophy.

When legitimate statements arise about Tottenham's injuries, it is their work to look at the way they play and change to something more sensible in circumstances. It makes no sense to die in the hill for any other principle to win.

What is Ange Postecoglou by sticking to its principles if that means losing your job?

What is Ange Postecoglou by sticking to its principles if that means losing your job?

In isolation, being eliminated from two cups by Liverpool and Aston Villa is not a sacble offensive. But it is Dany when you are also 16 points from the first four.

Now you need to win the Europa League to maintain your job. If you have knocked out and finish the Teta Mid, you really couldn't present a case so that they did not fire it. Unless, of course, he is in the gang 'Everything is the fault of Daniel Levy'.

Ange could say he has adapted, but I don't think he did. I think he has a belief system in which he will not compromise, and what is the point of attaching his principles if it means losing his job.

Super Bowl should learn from us, not the other way around

The Super Bowl puts a wonderful show, but in terms of global audience is dwarf in the final of the Champions League, which is measured in hundreds of millions instead of tens.

I am not reluctant to all pazazz and I appreciate that the big sport is becoming more and more about entertainment.

But we don't have to look at the Americans and go 'please, teach me'.

The reason why NFL plays competitive games in Europe is because they still need to grow their sport. 'Our' football, particularly the Premier League, is already there.
