The BBC will back down. They've completely screwed this up, if anything whoever made this decision might have to go.

The weird thing is the noise around this had started to die down. A few Tory MPs did the rounds saying he should go and the Daily Mail did a few front pages but after Lineker refused to apologise and it seemed the BBC had decided the matter was closed the attention died down.

Then the BBC went and tried to appease them and ended up alienating everyone else including most of their staff. They've had to pull TV shows and radio programs. There are now rumours the rebellion will extend past the sports on-air talent as well. The BBC might have a full-scale mutiny on their hands for an act of cowardice.

If this goes on much longer I think a lot of the BBC staff might just strike until Richard Sharp goes. The other thing about the suspension was it brought attention to him.
