Overview
- The Daly Brightness team apologized after listeners objected to a thumbnail showing Lauren James’s 2023 World Cup red card.
- Producers said the image selection was a production decision that did not involve hosts Millie Bright or Rachel Daly.
- The show removed the thumbnail on all platforms, replacing it with a photo of Bright and Daly from Euro 2022.
- Fans viewed the image as harmful because the red-card incident had been followed by racist abuse directed at James.
- Goalhanger, Gary Lineker’s company, produces the podcast, which is hosted by former England players Bright and Daly.
