The BBC has Suspended Gary Lineker for Political Criticism on Twitter

The BBC's popular sports show Match of the Day, which airs on Saturday, will be without presenters and pundits in the studio tonight. This decision comes after presenter Gary Lineker was suspended for his comments against the government's anti-immigrant policies on Twitter, and all other pundits and commentators associated with the show refused to take part in solidarity with the presenter.

Balotelli agent, Lineker hit out at Sacchi 'blacks' comments

The agent of Mario Balotelli led the growing criticism of former Italy and AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi following remarks criticising the number of "blacks" playing at youth level in Italy.
      
Sacchi, a renowned football coach and innovator who notably helped Milan to back-to-back European Cups in 1989 and 1990, has claimed he is "not racist".
