Gary Lineker, The English team excapine and British football for more than two decades, will leave the BbcAs the chain announced in a statement Monday. Lineker, 64, is planning to cover the 2026 World Cup for the chain, but its expected removal occurs after apologizing last week to share a publication on social networks about Zionism that includes the image of a rat, an anti -theremite insult.
It has become the best paid star of the BBC after showing the ‘Match of the Day’ (MOTD) program for 25 years. The BBC announced in November that it would leave the MOTD this year, but it will continue working for the chain until 2026. “Gary acknowledged the mistake he made. Therefore, we said he would stop showing after this time,” said the BBC’s general director, Tim Dievie, in a statement.
Lineker repeated his apology, saying he accidentally published any anti -text. “I acknowledge the mistake and discomfort I cause and reiterate my deep regret. Getting a step now seems to me responsible action,” he said. In recent years, Linker’s desire to express his political opinions on social networks has caused BBC problems, with strict rules of injustice. However, weeks ago he said he wanted to continue with the chain.
It was temporarily removed from the wind in 2023 after criticizing the previous government’s immigration policy on social networks. In 2018, he opposed Brexit and asked for a second referendum. Lineker apologized without a reservation last week for Republicar Material on Instagram, saying he had removed the newspapers after learning the offensive references.
