Gary Lineker - misogyny on stilts

[MrsMidClegs]

Many of us have been asking Gary to support women by making a statement that, just perhaps, male (transwomen) football players may present an unfair advantage in a woman's team.

Silence.

Then he pops up with this today.

Irregardless as to what you think about both individuals in court, it's clear that Gary sees women as just a 'herd'.
This completely explains his lack of support for women in sports - he hates us.

Not a nice man, actually, in the end.

That’s a bit of a stretch. He just made a really unfunny joke

ugh such a disappointment.

He's been utterly vile for years.

He is a notorious womaniser whose PR works over time to keep his philandering out of the news. Would agree that he's probably not a nice person and it's a vile joke but think it's a stretch to say he hates women off the back of this.

Agree with this but I'd heard enough of him to think its probably not far from the truth.

Oh, FFS. 🙄

It’s a joke. Or an attempt at one. Obviously. Gary regularly posts groan-worthy puns on Twitter.

I really do think you are reading way, way too much into this, OP.

He's a dick 🤷

Amber has been shown to be nuts🤷

seems like an innocuous enough dad joke to me.

I'm not sure he's a nice man as such, as already mentioned on this thread his reputation as a (married) shagger in his peak playing days was the stuff of pre-internet legend.

given that he always sides with the hyper woke on almost every issue but that I know of has remained silent on this one I suppose I do suspect that he's against TW in F sport, but doesn't want to upset his woke followers by saying so.
