Richard Keys has aimed a dig at Gary Lineker after the BBC presenter revealed the real reason why he posts on Twitter.
During an appearance on stage at the festival with historian David Olusoga, he spoke about why he tweets prominently on political issues - over a year after he was taken off air by the BBC for criticising the government's asylum policy.A resolution was later reached, with BBC apologising to Lineker and allowing him to return to the air. Later that year, the corporation introduced new social media guidelines for its presenters, which Lineker backed.
star added: "It's only a line of attack if they don't agree with you. They're perfectly happy with free speech for sports people, or musicians, or historians, or whatever it is, as long as they agree. "The minute they disagree with what you say, they say: 'Stay in your lane'. So I think you have to take that with a little bit of a pinch of salt."Taking to Twitter, beIN Sports and former Sky Sports presenter Keys aimed a dig at Lineker in response.
He wrote: "I'm quite certain Gary would be looking in the mirror at night even if he wasn't tweeting." Live in constant hope of the top flight as a Preston North End fan. Written in the past for SPORF, GiveMeSport and more.Drinks brand Red Bull have now purchased a stake in one of England's biggest clubs to continue their expansion in football.
