Sky Sports Faces Boycott over Gary Neville 'Racist' Rant

 

 

Sky Sports is facing boycott calls after Gary Neville branded “angry middle-aged white men” as the cause of Britain’s divisions — and revealed he tore down a Union Jack at one of his building sites.

 

The £1.1 million-a-year pundit and ex-Man United defender, 50, posted a video blaming flag-waving Britons for spreading hate — just a day after two Jewish worshippers were murdered in a Manchester synagogue terror attack.

 

Neville claimed the sight of dozens of Union Jacks made him “instantly” pull one down from his own site, warning that flags were being used “to send a message of division.”

 

But furious fans accused him of hypocrisy and “race-baiting”, threatening to cancel Sky subscriptions unless he’s axed. Reform UK MP Lee Anderson blasted Neville as “out of touch,” while Dame Andrea Jenkyns called him “Gary Lineker Mark Two.”

 

Online critics accused the left-leaning pundit of “painting a target” on his supporters, with one writing: “How can you blame the likes of me for a terrorist attack?”

Neville hit back, insisting he’s a “proud Englishman” who loves his country but believes the flag is being “used negatively.”

 

The former England star — who played 85 times for his country and now runs a £100 million business empire — said: “We need to check ourselves and stop being pulled apart.”

 

Sky Sports has not yet commented on the row.

 

Key Takeaways

• Sky Sports faces boycott threats after Gary Neville’s “racist” comments about “angry white men.”

• Neville said he tore down a Union Jack, calling flag displays divisive.

• MPs and fans branded him “out of touch” and demanded Sky take action.

As usual he's spot on.

And as usual all the righties have got their knickers in a twist and are crying to get him canceled.
