abc.net.au/news/gary-lineker-stood-down-bbc-match-of-the-day-asylum-seekers/102084314The BBC's Match of the Day program is set to be broadcast without presenters or commentators in the wake of host Gary Lineker being stood down for breaching the broadcaster's impartiality guidelines.
Alan Shearer is one of several Match of the Day analysts who have said they will not show up for work in protest. A host of other former players working in the UK media voiced their support, saying they would not step in for Lineker if asked. The broadcast then showcased criticism of the tournament, including of the voting and bidding process that secured the hosting rights, and the 2022 World Cup's carbon footprint.
