Trevor Sinclair has been pulled off air by radio station talkSPORT following backlash to a Twitter post he wrote following the Queen's death.
Sinclair, 49, uploaded a post at 7.38pm on Thursday night – which sparked a furious reaction – and the popular broadcaster has since launched an investigation. Buckingham Palace announced at 6.30pm on Thursday night that Queen Elizabeth II died, aged 96, at her home in Balmoral and the Premier League have postponed games scheduled for this matchday as a mark of respect for the long-serving Monarch. Queen Elizabeth II will be succeeded by King Charles III.
Allegedly reacting to that news, Sinclair posted on Twitter: "Racism was outlawed in England in the 60s & it's been allowed to thrive so why should black & brown mourn!! #queen." That post has since been deleted and the Twitter account owned by Sinclair deactivated.
