Gary Lineker has said he received threats after he retweeted then deleted a post by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel that called for Israel to be banned from international sporting events, including football.
A source has said he misread the post as a statement saying that the ban had been enacted. Of the ensuing furore, the Match of the Day presenter said he had received threats. “But it’s not about me. I am not the victim here,” he said in a wide-ranging interview with the Guardian.
