The BBC has decided to cancel the long-running quiz show 'Question of Sport' after 53 years, citing inflation and funding challenges. The decision has sparked disappointment and criticism, especially after the sacking of popular host Sue Barker. Former footballer Joey Barton has suggested that 'Football Focus' might be the next to be axed due to 'wokeness.' Additionally, pundit Ian Wright has announced his departure from 'Match of the Day' after 27 years, while commentator Martin Tyler claims he was axed by Sky Sports as their voice of the Premier League.

Wrote about last night’s announcement that Question of Sport has been axed. Its demise was inevitable once Sue Barker was pushed out, and is sadly emblematic of what’s happened to the BBC’s sporting output. https://t.co/dIZuVVvyyH
Such a shame they changed @QuestionofSport from Sue, Daws and Tuffers and to see how a brilliant show has gone downhill and now cancelled. Just shows that when you’ve got something good to appreciate it!
