These Sky Sports Broadcasters were sacked on tuesday:Matt Le Tiesser, Phil Thompson and Charlie Nicholas were sacked from the show on tuesday by the broadcasting company who have been kicking out staff from their company aggressively.

Lan Wright took to his twitter to speak up against viewers who said black commentator such as Micah Richard and Alex Scott are the main reason for their sack. 

Wright said in the twitter video:

“I've had to pull the car over—the racism is going through the roof today.

“Can someone answer me this: What does Micah Richard,Alex Scott,Sol Campbell,Clinton Morrison or any other black pundits have to do with Sky's decision to get rid of these guys.

“All because three middle–aged white guys got the sack, I kiss my teeth.

“Why are people upset,Alex Scott for me is easily one of the best-prepared pundits out there easily.

“Micah Richard is the most exciting pundit to hit the scene in years.

“Keep their names out of your stinky unbrished teeth mouths.

After going against the comments which has been going online, he added:

“These guys Matt Le Tiesser, Charlie Nicholas and Phil Thompson have had an unbelievable run, it been a great show, this happens to every one in the industry.

“This is Sky's decision to evolve the show, I wish them all the best, yes you can be disappointed but that it's come to an end for those guys.

“But why does it have to be racially driven?What it got to do with Black Lives Matter?or the fact that black people may get the opportunity to get these jobs?.

After the sack, Sky Sports told Sun Sports:

“We are changing some parts of our football coverage.Matt,Charlie,Phil have done a great job for us over the years,and they will leave us with our sincere thanks and very best wishes”.
