That’s a pretty crisp disciplinary response there from the BBC.

Anyone else employed in the public sector would’ve likely been dismissed for similar so not surprising.

Still find it absurd that a TV commentator sharing a tweet that poses Zionist Jews alongside rats, before deleting the tweet and apologising once learning the historical context — *all while* said Zionist Jews commit genocide against an entire population, partially funded by Western countries — gets some people more riled up than the genocide itself.
The media in the U.K. is absolute poison and have perfected planting targets on people.

Very disappointed with this. Not only just because I really enjoy his commentary, but because the BBC is very clearly siding with Israel here.

I mean, I already liked Lineker anyway, but this whole thing has made me respect him infinitely more.

Being against zionism isn’t antisemitic. Conflating the two is. Fuck the BBC.

Like Musk in the US, if your job is non political and you go hardcore political, it doesn’t matter what side you’re on, it will catch up with you.
Shame to lose a good entertainer but inevitable

There won’t even be a world cup 2026 as the USA are supposed to host, but that shitshow is going to be a closed border nightmare, if it’s even still a country by then.

About time! Pity he will always think he got one over on the network as well as the majority of the country after what he did! 100% he will continue as a freelance presenter and will most likely sign for TNT Sports and in the future Apple TV! Had alot of respect for him since the 80s, then we became woke and boring!

Bye bye.
Now he’s free to express whatever he wants, without a chance of damaging anything but his own image.

Fair play to Gary speaking up on the genocide. He deserves so much credit, whilst others support it or blindly ignore it

Weird how any post about actual football on this sub is tumbleweed, but whenever Gary lineker gets mentioned, it turns everyone is a diehard fan of match of the day.
