Gary Lineker: 'We were sportswashed'

Football presenter says 麻豆社 should speak out on human rights abuses by World Cup hosts.

The 麻豆社 presenter Gary Lineker says a failure to speak out more about human rights issues during the World Cup in Russia in 2018 explains his approach to covering the tournament in Qatar. Lineker delivered a monologue at the start of the 麻豆社's coverage of the opening game and described the event as "the most controversial World Cup in history". Also in the programme, trouble at the top for Disney.

Guests: Gary Lineker, 麻豆社 Sport Presenter, Ayman Mohyeldin, Host of AYMAN on MSNBC, Roger Mosey, Former Director of Sport at the 麻豆社, and Zoe Kleinman, Technology Editor at 麻豆社 News
