Lampard to the rescue then?
This is incredibly disappointing by the British
Broadcasting Corporation. Pathetic clamp down on Free Speech of it’s employees.
Is the BBCs only way out an apology from them to Lineker,instead of him apologising for his tweet?
Lineker is not even an employee of the BBC, he is a freelancer.
MOTD w/ Piers Morgan it is then. 
Really good podcast worth a listen. Here’s a 2 min exert
In it they highlight the hypocrisy within the BBC and the political interference.
He also runs a production company called Goalhanger which produces a series of highly successful and often quite political podcasts. In that role it is not unreasonable that he may make the occasion political comment.
In a similar way one of the BBC’s leading political commentators was Andrew Neil for 25 years whilst also being chairman of the right leaning Spectator magazine. He was known for making quite controversial statements.
As has been already pointed out, The BBC had no problem with Andrew Neil running the Spectator while employed by the BBC. They had no problem with Alan Sugar tweeting increasingly hysterical, and actually offensive, anti-Corbyn memes while employing him.
What an own goal from the real anti-free speech snowflakes.
So Linekar will be heading up Sky Sports big games next season.
I’m sure he’s not losing much sleep over this
Him and Clarkson. Match made in heaven. Just throw in James O’Brien for giggles.
What are the odds of them using this to setup the first all female MOTD……
My god they’ll be cartwheeling in the isles.
And Clarkson
Shockingly Clarkson is actually supporting them on this one.
Bring back David Icke!
Piers Morgan too what is the world becoming?
Yes, he is not a lefty, is he ? But even that obnoxious man is reacting to this increasingly absurd sensitivity crap from the BBC.
