Gary Lineker (62 years old) was temporarily suspended by the BBC, and the decision of the TV channel caused a “revolt” among colleagues of the former player of the English national team.
Lineker compared the draft of the new immigration law of Great Britain to the actions of Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Ian Wright (59) and Alan Shearer (52) have announced that they stand in solidarity with Gary Lineker and will not appear on the upcoming Match of the Day show.
Also, Alex Scott (38), a former soccer player who played 140 matches for the England national team, said that he will not moderate the BBC’s “Football in Focus” program. She announced her intention just a few tens of minutes before she was supposed to go on the air.
“I made the decision last night and as much as I love Football in Focus and had an incredible week winning the top prize, I don’t feel good about being on the show tonight. Hopefully I’ll be back in my chair next week,” Alex Scott wrote on Twitter.
