I'm not arguing if he's right or wrong on the point he makes, but I feel there's an important distinction between criticising language and criticising actions.

I don’t think Seph was arguing that point either. Seph disagrees, but respects Lineker’s right to say it. Language is ultimately an action.
That’s the interesting thing about the Redwood tweet above - a complete deflection from the issue at hand. I do disagree with what the state broadcaster pays for the presenters of English football highlights compared to the pittance it pays for actual live football in Scotland.
However it’s irrelevant to the issue at hand.
