Probably isn't helping matters, then again Madiot, Lappartient, Prudhomme, Bardet, have probably had a bigger impact. This may be reflected in the type of questions the french media are asking them however.
Even if Brailsford had called all the French a bag of cunts, the public should still not be throwing piss and spitting on riders. -
I understand you may be referring to an article in Cycling News? I believe these quotes came from a rest day press-conference, so it was his job to be there, correct? It's not like he called the press-conference just to announce this.
I also understand people may view Sky and/or Brailsford as hypocritical, however, after reading the actual comments quoted, I feel emphaty. I once worked as a manager of a team of young-ish people, and when one yound lady was sort-of bullied by an older colleagues, I was really vocal about the case. Imagine yourself in the shoes of a manager of 30+ people in another country in a very hostile environment, where most of the people can face any number of abusive locals who may try to hit them or spit at them, while you, as a manager, are not really able to protect them in any kind of way?..

Brailsford is a fucking idiot with his comments about the French. Someone just needs to take him away from the microphones and cameras. In fact he should recognise that fact, but he likes the limelight too much.
