Gary Lineker to exit BBC
Digest more
Gary Lineker, the former soccer star and long-time sportscaster for the BBC, is leaving the broadcaster amid backlash after reposting an Instagram story about Zionism that featured a rat emoji. Lineker announced his resignation on Monday, six days after a British antisemitism watchdog called for him to be dismissed over the post.
It is such a pity that Gary Lineker is leaving the BBC in this manner. His comments outside of sport have brought the world tumbling down on him and, clearly, it was a nonsense for him to have shared what is deemed to be an anti-Semitic message.
