Jermaine Jenas’ talkSPORT comeback is a ‘glimmer of hope’ woke cancel culture is almost over

COULD Jermaine Jenas’s instrumentality to broadcasting awesome the opening of the extremity of the toxic cancel civilization which has, for truthful long, plagued our society?

Sadly, astir apt not.

But his talkSPORT comeback does supply america with a glimmer of anticipation that radical tin marque mistakes and not person their careers ended for good.

Now, earlier I spell immoderate further, I’d similar to marque wide I bash not condone his actions which forced BBC bosses to wield the axe connected his roles there.

Sending what 1 of his pistillate colleagues connected The One Show said were unsolicited flirty texts is wrong, and helium has caused suffering to aggregate women – not slightest his mediocre woman Ellie Penfold.

His actions cannot beryllium excused, and BBC bosses were close to springiness him the boot from The One Show and his Match of the Day punditry gig.

But should a antheral who has held his hands up and apologised profusely truly beryllium banished from doing immoderate occupation ever again?

The reply from the woke brigade would beryllium a resounding yes, of course.

But portion what Jenas did was incorrect connected aggregate levels, helium has not done thing criminal.

He apologised, successful an interrogation with The Sun, to those helium had wounded – his family, friends and, astir importantly, the women helium had messaged.

He adjacent admitted helium had started receiving therapy, confessing helium astir apt has a “problem”.

Now helium has been offered a relation backmost connected talkSPORT – wherever helium was moving arsenic news of his sacking broke past August – arsenic portion of the commentary squad for this Sunday’s FA Cup clash betwixt Aston Villa and Spurs.

And helium intelligibly inactive has thing to offer.

Here is simply a 41-year-old antheral who spent 13 years arsenic a nonrecreational footballer, making 341 appearances for clubs including Premier League sides Spurs and Newcastle, and winning 21 elder England caps.

A antheral who was erstwhile touted by the large Gary Lineker arsenic his successor arsenic Match of the Day host.

So good done to talkSPORT chiefs for giving him a lifeline.

And here’s to hoping others volition beryllium prepared to travel suit and combat backmost against cancel culture.
