BBC vs Lineker

I watch Netflix, YouTube and Twitch. The only reasons I have a TV licence (and soon not to) is because I watch MOTD, Top Gear and listen to Kermode and Mayo film review.

1 - Kermode and Mayo has left.
2 - Top Gear has gone crap, not watched it for 2 years.
3 - MOTD...now I find myself lacking patience and watch the goals on Sky Sports YouTube Channel after the games ended and then not watching MOTD as i've now seen the goals.

So the only thing left is live sports...if push comes to shove, I'll just go to the pub to watch CL or World Cup games, that'll get me a lot of drinks at the pub for a few matches.

and remind Alex Scott that the BBC have effectively built her media career over the last few years. Shearer is no loss and Wright is more an ITV man anyway. Those employed by the BBC and refusing to appear should be reminded who actually pays their salaries and told to get back to work.

The Alex Scott that was probably forced to endure more abuse, by more than likely the same group than is aimed at Lineker?

This is what this row should be judged with. The general public are a bunch of racist trolls and hate when that view isnt cherished upheld.

Yeah the MOTD highlights are barely more than the goals, they stretch it out with replays and of course the analysis, the analysis often showing clips not in the highlight reel. So once you seen it on sky sports website you not going to see much more on MOTD, I am sure the highlights used to be longer years ago?

The fact she got a death threat for merely been rumoured to take over shows how horrible this country is.

What on earth has that, as unacceptable as it is, got to do with either the subject matter or Mint8's post? The thread is about Linkeker's political commentary and the resulting fall out with the BBC over alleged breaches of their guidelines. Mint8's post didn't call out Scott other than saying she shouldn't bite the hand that feeds, whilst at the same time calling out a white man as being of no value to the show (Shearer).

Yet here comes Tony who wants to relate this to a completely different incident regarding Scott. Honestly, it must be a struggle for you to make it through a day without finding a hint of racism somewhere and anywhere.
