Former BBC Sport pundit Mark Lawrenson believes he was sacked by the 'woke' BBC because he is a 65-year-old white male.
The Liverpool legend enjoyed a 30-year stint as co-commentator and pundit with the corporation, most recently with Football Focus and doing his weekly predictions with a host of celebrity guests, but was let go at the end of last season.
Speaking in an interview with The Times over the weekend, the former defender slammed his 'woke' former employer, claiming his bosses are scared to upset people.
