Ian Wright called out Lord Sugar’s macho BS without uttering so much as a word
Notorious Spurs supporter and serial self-owner Lord Sugar took to Twitter on Friday night to question Arsenal’s strip choice for their 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
Hot on the heels of his women’s football everyday sexism, the whiff of macho posturing was met with scorn.
Yeah, you'd never see an England Rugby Union international in a pink shirt… oh. pic.twitter.com/nRlYRWNMse

It's interesting how enjoying decades of huge success in no way inoculates you against being a tiny, pathetic nonsense of a man. https://t.co/4hkJfIFpuc

Lord Sugar wasn’t buying it.
Idiot a pink shirt to wear with suit is perfectly fine . But a football Jersey …. come off it https://t.co/CS9W1amFm1

The best response, however, came on Saturday during Match of the Day – and no words were necessary.
Tweeters loved to see it.
