Wasnt sure whether to put this in the John Terry thread but I think it is bigger than that issue.
Jason Roberts says he won't wear the Kick Racism Out Of Football warm up shirt tomorrow. Being discussed on Talksport at the moment, Fergie and Wenger don't support him. Apparently it is a small organisation with less than £0.5m funding.
I say good on him. It's hypocritical for the Premier League to claim this is what they do when they do not actively do enough to prevent racism. Most notably sanctions. I think the FA also need to lead the way in forcing UEFA/FIFA to sort their business too.
I'd like to see Roberts and others wear an alternative anti racist shirt or slogan. Maybe "4 matches = joke" is too specific but something like "tougher stance on racism" makes the point. Plus surely the FA rules on slogans etc only applies during actual matches.
