Ofcom has opted not to take any action after there were 705 complaints registered over Gary Neville's rant during coverage of the World Cup.
The tournament in Qatar was arguably the most divisive in recent history; the decision to award it to the country was criticised before the unprecedented decision was made to play it in the winter. Qatar's human rights issues and attitudes towards women and the LGBT+ community were some of the main points of contention.
Neville highlighted these topics in the lead-up to the World Cup and continued to do so in his role as a pundit. The former player turned pundit also took aim at the British Government, which he has done regularly on social media, but his rant resulted in an angry reaction from many.
