Why should anyone be sacked for issuing criticism?

/// An angry fan wrote: "Brendan Foster should be replaced. So negative about Mo Farah. I don't pay my licence fee for judgemental views!" ///

/// While others accused him of being "too negative", "disgraceful" and "disrespectful towards a British hero like Mo". ///

This is not an ordinary person running for a charity, this is a professional that is being paid to run.

Looks like no one is allowed an opinion nowadays unless it is positive,the World has gone mad with all this ridiculous Social media stuff.

I can't see what was rude about Foster's remarks. He knows more about long-distance running than most people and maybe he was right...perhaps it isn't the area that Mo should be competing in.

A non-article if ever I read one .

Well said,Mikey.

Foster was bang on and in no way rude. Mo put in a very good time but is a way of the best at this event, solid observations by Foster.
