Can you understand why so much fuss is being made of Martin Brundles comments about Pikeys at the Canadian GP?

Q: Commentator and Ex racing driver Martin Brundle is being investigated for saying In an interview with Bernie Ecclestone before Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, Brundle referred to repairs being made to the track. "There are some pikeys out there putting down new tarmac at Turn 10. Are they out of the way yet? Is that really so offensive? Why is this different from being called a chav or toff?

A: It saddens me that there is so much fuss over something so pathetic. If a race driver swears in a interview, there is just an apology made by the interviewer and that's the end of it. The same Principal should be used here, if a FIA boss can get away with adultery, a well respected commentator should get away with a very slightly inappropriate word.
