LONDON (AP) — The BBC faced an escalating crisis Saturday over its suspension of former soccer star and program host Gary Lineker for comments criticizing the British government’s new asylum policy.As a growing number of players and presenters rallied to Lineker’s support, Britain’s national broadcaster faced allegations of political bias and suppressing free speech, as well as praise from some Conservative politicians.Presenters of the BBC’s lunchtime “Football Focus” said they would not appear on the program in solidarity with Lineker, who was suspended from hosting highlights show “Match of the Day” over a Twitter post that compared lawmakers’ language about migrants to that used in Nazi Germany.The BBC pulled “Football Focus” from its schedule on Saturday, replacing it with an episode of antiques show “Bargain Hunt.”After a slew of Lineker’s colleagues announced they wouldn’t appear on the show without him, the BBC said “Match of the Day” would be aired Saturday with...

Mike Lupica: Credit Jets owner Woody Johnson for making a run at Aaron Rodgers

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:50:29 GMT

Apart from Mr. Dolan, who presides over two teams at the Facial Recognition Garden, there is no less popular owner around here than Woody Johnson. A few years ago Jets fans were not only happy to see him head off to England to become Donald Trump’s ambassador to the Court of St. James, most of them were hoping it might become a lifetime appointment. You can still buy political appointments like that if you have the money, by the way. It is different trying to buy the Lombardi Trophy, as Woody well knows.But at least Johnson is acting like a real owner, and a smart one, as he and his general manager and his coach have been trying hard to recruit Aaron Rodgers to become the No. 12 the Jets have been looking for since the Original 12, which means Joe Namath.As much as a football decision as this is, it is also an example of a rich guy — in this case the rich guy who owns one of our football teams — getting out of debt.Despite all the positivity of the past few days, t...

Cam Reddish on time with Knicks: ‘It was tough but at the same time, it ain’t even about basketball’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:50:29 GMT

Cam Reddish spent most of his time in New York on the bench, a former lottery pick with a career that was derailing on a team and coach of ill fit.But as the 23-year-old was losing a season to DNPs, Reddish took solace in his belief that the benching wasn’t about basketball.“It was tough but at the same time, it ain’t even about basketball,” Reddish told the Daily News. “It had nothing to do with basketball. It was all the politics, all the favoritism. S—t like that. That’s why I wasn’t too worried about it.”Reddish didn’t expand on his answer. As the Blazers wing outlined in the interview, he has good reasons to focus on the future, rather than look back at his frustrations with the Knicks and Tom Thibodeau.Since he was swapped last month for Josh Hart, Reddish has been a consistent part of Portland’s rotation while averaging 30.1 minutes and 13.8 points. He stepped into a starting role because of injuries and earned...

Ira Winderman: If Heat end season at a loss, it’s because of these nightmare scenarios

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:50:29 GMT

No, this was not the expectation for the final month of the regular season, the Miami Heat scrambling to deal with the nuances of the NBA’s play-in tournament, the second-chance postseason event for four teams lacking the wherewithal to secure direct playoff entry with a top-six seed.And, yes, there still is a potential escape hatch that will require help either from the New York Knicks or Brooklyn Nets.But what has become clear is that nothing could or can be assumed with the Heat this season, including what at least on paper sets up as a week where ground can be gained, with Monday night’s home game against the Utah Jazz, Wednesday night’s home game against a Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies, and then road games next weekend against the Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons.Because bad losses are exactly what have the Heat at a loss this season, improbable if not unfathomable defeats sprinkled amid a won-loss mix that otherwise would have Erik Spoelstra’s team ...
