Credit: BBCBBC Sport host Gary Lineker said this week he’s received threats after retweeting a pro-Palestinian account that called for Israel to be banned from international sporting events. Kern wrote, “I note I’ve been blocked by Gary Lineker, so let’s just be crystal clear on one thing: Gary Lineker has profiteered from human misery more than nearly every single one of us on this app. “So please be mindful that Gary Lineker is a vanity moralist. A hypocrite and a fraud, one might say.”After unblocking Kern, Lineker responded with an attack on Kern’s original tweet. — Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) January 20, 2024Earlier this week, Lineker added a ‘retweets are not endorsements’ disclaimer to his X profile.
