Relevance - once again?

Richard Scudamore is the Chief Executive of the Premier League, and by all accounts is very good at his job and well respected by the clubs in the Premiership. He has apparently exchanged some private e-mails with friends of his which contained material which a personal assistant of his (to whom they were not addressed but presumably came across them in passing) found offensive and leaked them to the media. Big hoo-haa and several calls for him to resign.  I get rather weary of saying this, but why??  What do his private views on women (if indeed the e-mails are in any way representative of that) have to do with his worthiness to hold the position which he does.  Thankfully, at the time of writing, it seems he will ride out the storm - but should there have been a storm in the first place?
