On Friday evening, the BBC announced that Lineker had been pulled off air from Saturday's Match Of The Day
Lord Sugar has had his say on the Gary Lineker row after his name was mentioned by his ex-pal Piers Morgan and other stars to highlight the BBC's alleged hypocrisy.
And after the comment, a number of celebrities have since spoken up about the situation and shown their support for Lineker after the legendary footballer refused to delete his tweet, with the issue turning into a freedom of speech debate. “You don’t fool me waiting for the employers to come to table. You love the publicity. Your members would like to earn what you get. Why don’t you waive your salary.”
“Just wondering if anyone in the government wants to retrospectively kick off about these tweets? Nah, don’t suppose so.”
