Ladies and Gentlemen , I introduce Eric Bristow
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/darts/38141331
Bristow, who was made an MBE in 1989, suggested that darts players were "tough guys" and footballers "wimps".
He added the victims should not be able to look themselves in the mirror for not "getting their own back" on their abusers in adulthood.
In addition to his comments on sex abuse victims, Bristow caused anger by conflating paedophiles with homosexuals in a tweet that read: "Might be a loony but if some football coach was touching me when I was a kid, as I got older I would have went back and sorted that poof out."
