talkSport have hit back on Twitter after pundit Trevor Sinclair posted a disrespectful tweet after Buckingham Palace announced the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Furious fans and one of his colleagues questioned his decision to share his opinion on Twitter before talkSport stepped in and issued a statement.
Former England player Trevor tweeted: “Racism was outlawed in England in the 60’s & its been allowed to thrive so why should black & brown mourn!! #queen.” (sic)
As furious fans scolded Trevor, his colleague Simon Jordan hit out at the pundit.
“Trev. I’m really not sure that is an appropriate thought, let alone tweet .
“The country has lost a very significant person and respect and value should be the over riding sentiments not division!”

“talkSPORT does not support those views expressed and is investigating the matter.”
Furious football fans didn’t hold back as they blasted Trevor.
David Coverdale added: “Please don’t ever let this man on your station again I listen 8 hours a day 5 days a week but never again while this man is still on your station.” (sic)
Leighton Williams wrote: “Investigating? He made published that tweet, he’s employed by you, he has to be sacked.
“Failure to sack him will cost you a huge number of listeners and sponsors. Don’t p**s about with investigations, and suspensions.”
“He should be removed from TalkSPORT immediately Simon, this is a National travesty,” Les Burridge declared.
Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully at Balmoral Castle aged 96.
