Former England captain Gary Lineker was temporarily removed from his role as presenter of the BBC's flagship soccer highlights show in the wake of his criticism of the British government's new asylum policy. The long-running “Match of the Day” program, which has been a national institution in Britain since the 1960s, will be aired on Saturday “without studio presentation or punditry,” the BBC said.
