LONDON: Britain's BBC reinstated its highest-paid presenter Gary Lineker on Monday (Mar 13) after a decision to take the sports host off air over his criticism of the government sparked a near mutiny at the public broadcaster.
Match of the Day 2 is set to follow a reduced format for tonight's show, it is understood.
The BBC's Sunday sports coverage - including Match of the Day 2 - remains up in the air as the row over Gary Lineker's suspension rumbles on. Shows are in chaos as presenters, pundits and commentators down tools in support of the former England striker, who was suspended for comparing the language around Home Secretary Suella Braverman's 'cruel' migrant policy with that of 1930s Germany on Twitter.
BBC television's flagship football programme was in meltdown on Saturday after pundits and commentators refused to work in support of presenter Gary Lineker, who was forced to "step back" after accusing the government of using Nazi-era rhetoric. Match of the Day presenter Lineker, England's fourth most prolific goalscorer, sparked an impartiality row by criticising the British government's new policy on tackling illegal immigration. The 62-year-old compared the language used to launch the new policy to that of Nazi-era Germany on Twitter, which the BBC said on Friday was a "breach of our guidelines".
The fallout to Gary Lineker "stepping back" from presenting Match of the Day continues with more presenters deciding to boycott BBC's Football Focus and Final Score programmes.
