Gary Lineker will return as host of BBC’s premier soccer program “Match of the Day” following the controversy over critical tweets of Britain’s new migration policy. The BBC received immense backlash for removing Lineker from the program over his tweets comparing the language in the policy to that of Nazi Germany in the 1930s. The program was shortened over the weekend as his co-hosts backed Lineker and vowed to stay on the sidelines if he was suspended. Lineker thanked those for backing him in a series of tweets. I want to thank you all for the incredible support, particularly my colleagues at BBC Sport, for the remarkable show of solidarity.
