Talking of Fever 104.0, yesterday RJ Sidhu was trying to recruit 11 ladies to be present in the stadium for today's IPL match of Mumbai Indians. He asked a question - who is Mumbai Indians' fielding coach. He also gave a hint that the coach was a well-known player from South Africa. The answer, of course, is Jonty Rhodes. One lady called and gave the right answer. I think the RJ should have congratulated her for being selected and left it at that. Instead, he asked her who told her the answer. She replied that no one did. Sidhu could have moved on at this point as well but he wouldn't have any of it. He kept on repeating the question. And in the end also remarked that the lady's husband must be smiling somewhere in the background. This remark was certainly in a very bad taste and smacked strongly of gender-bias. I agree that not all Indian women are crazy or well-informed about sports. But that is no reason to generalize.

I hope you are listening RJ Sidhu - for once.
