Gary Lineker, BBC Sport’s Match of the Day Presenter to Return to Hosting, Conflict Resolved

Posted : 06 April 2023
After receiving an apology from the BBC, Gary Lineker will resume hosting sports coverage this weekend. Lineker "stepped back" from his presenting duties on Friday, which prompted several pundits to stop watching BBC Sport programs. Lineker will now host Match of the Day after being removed from the air due to his tweets criticizing the government's immigration policy.

Tim Davie, director general of the BBC, issued an apology for the incident and said that a review of its social media usage policies would be conducted independently.
Mr. Davie stated in a statement: “Everyone recognizes this has been a difficult period for staff, contributors, presenters and, most importantly, our audiences. I apologize for this.”

Davie also claims it has been noticed that “grey areas” in the BBC social media guidance released in 2020 have the possibility of causing “confusion”.
When experts and commentators refused to work, the BBC was obliged to cancel some sports programs and provide less coverage of its popular Match of the Day programs.

After Lineker linked the rhetoric used to introduce a new government asylum policy to that of 1930s Germany, a controversy regarding impartiality erupted.
