Ron Atkinson was dropped by ITV for making a racist remark off air, surely this is just as bad and should result in Sky dropping him.

"Why do we always feel the need to extract a pound of flesh."
Ichk.......yes, you are correct......this is a natural human reaction, for better or for worse.
Spitting has always been regarded as an unsavory, vulgar and maybe dangerous result of unregulated emotion, that is taught from childhood and certainly someone of high sporting profile on the flagship of a TV sports programme, should have shown restraint.
Sackable?......... difficult, but yes i think so.

ichkeria - // And I don't think this is a sacking matter if he has apologised personally. If he can move on so can we all. Why do we always feel the need to extract a pound of flesh. //
It is not about extracting 'a pound of flesh' - it is about sending out a message that what you or I would be arrested for - which is assault - is not something a TV pundit can get away with simply because he is in the public eye.
It is about unacceptable behaviour, and the appropriate punishment for it.

'Carragher is in the public eye, paid an eight-figure salary,'
Doubtful. //
Does that somehow lessen his offence, because reports in the media that he is paid more than £1million by Sky for his opinions are inaccurate?
I don't care if he gives he fee to charity, or does it for nothing, the point is, he is highly paid to talk about football, and accepting that position means accepting the responsibilities that go with it.
One of those is a downside, the public will occasionally have a pop at you, simply because of who you are, and because they can.
The responsibility bit is that confronted with someone being unpleasant, you act like the mature individual you are supposed to be and walk, or in this case, drive away.
You do not spit at a total stranger with a child in his car!
Which part of that are you finding difficulty with?
