There’s quite a distance between ‘don’t know’ and ‘don’t care’, plus the full quote is that he felt it was too nuanced for a social media discussion, which in the highly polarised world of social media, is probably a fair point.


Given his willingness to speak up on a range of topics, I think to suggest he doesn’t care is an unfair and harsh comment.
What's nuanced about it? As someone else has mentioned, Martina Navratilova took him to task over that claim and had no problem to summing things up very succinctly on social media:

“Truly unbelievable. What an utter load of BS – and I am being nice. Seriously, Gary? It’s OK for men to compete against female bodies? You must be joking.”

In fairness to Lineker, I don't think he actually understands the issue because he claimed sport would sort it out "like in boxing, when they realised they couldn't have heavyweights against little fellas."
