Gary Lineker is branded a hypocrite in the British tabloids. Now feel it.
English soccer legend and television personality Gary Lineker is an avid public debater and has thrown himself into various debates about the authorities and people’s handling of the virus pandemic.
The 1986 World Cup hero tweeted in April, among other things, that he thinks there shouldn’t even be a debate about whether the British should wear face masks in public space.

He repeated the message when the use of masks was introduced to all indoor stores in England in July.
sorry
Now, however, the 59-year-old was forced to apologize after he was photographed in a Marks & Spencer store without a face mask.
The British tabloids, of course, have gotten into the matter. The Mirror has spoken to one of those who was in the store.
– It’s hypocrisy on a separate level. He even tweeted a photo of him wearing a mask in front of that store recently and asked people to wear face masks. I wouldn’t have cared so much if it was someone else, but it’s frustrating when someone thinks they’re the guardian of morality, he says.
Lineker himself posted the following apology on Twitter:
– In my old age, I went into a store and forgot to put on a mask. I wondered why people looked at me so ugly. I noticed after a few minutes and was quick to put it on. I felt cruel and shameful. I apologize to those who were present.
Brilliant career
Lineker is perhaps best known as the 1986 World Cup top scorer. He began his senior career at parent club Leicester, before moving on to Everton, Barcelona and Tottenham.
He ended his football career with a two-year stint at the Japanese Nagoya Grampus Eight between 1992 and 1994.
After putting his football boots on the shelf, Lineker has been one of England’s most influential media personalities, including hosting the BBC’s Match of the Day program.
