Gary Lineker - man of integrity

So much integrity that he posted an anti semitic trope on his social media, only withdrawing it and apologising when someone pointed it out to him.

Along with his tweet two years ago accusing the Conservatives of using language akin to the Nazi’s

Exactly, GrannyGravy13.
I can't stand the man and don't think he's a man of integrity at all - he's just a virtue signaller.

Indeed GrannyGravy and was happy to be paid goodness how much to be a part of the world cup when it was held in Qatar.

Moral courage !

We watched a clip from the tv programme 'The Assembly' when he was asked about the world cup being held in Qatar and his waffling answer was embarrassing.

I agree with Sparklefizz. Not impressed by him at all.

Moral courage !

Self serving, virtue signalling hypocrite.

Moral courage for his antisemitic post

That’s a no then 😄😄😄

Your O/P was a joke !

One may smile , and smile, and be a villain.

Rather hoping that when he has gone the Beeb will have lots more money to produce more of their excellent drama series.

He’s an arrogant man who believed he could say anything and flouted the BBC’s rules once too often.They never act fast enough in my opinion to get rid of overpaid jerks.

Mr Walkers aka the crisp salesman.

I do think certain right wing MPs sound a little Nazi like with their choice of language.

In terms of the (alleged) anti-Semitic trope, I didn’t read it, but I would just point out that 1) he apologised and immediately removed it, 2) he’s stepping down from his job role earlier than planned and 3) If one posts or says anything in defence of the Palestinian people accusations pour out stating the comments are either supporting terrorism or are anti-Semitic.

I like Lineker and do believe him to be a man of integrity.

You must be joking Whitewavemark! He’s an obnoxious individual, over opinionated, overpaid and arrogant.

He's been given a red card by the BBC.

He has lovely legs though

If he wanted to be free to tell the world his opinions he shouldn’t be working for the BBC.They already gave him chances.He’s earned so much money now that he won’t care he has had to leave.
He’s learned that free speech doesn’t mean you can say anything you like without any consequences. Particularly when you work for a supposedly impartial company.
Glad he’s gone.

His comments on transwomen in sport don't make me warm to him.

He apologised and removed his antisemitic post after many complaints

He should never have made it in the first place.

They don't make me warm to him either Doodledog.

This isn’t Match of the Day, but Laugh of the Day. Man of integrity!

🤣 🤣 🤣
