No end in sight this is just going to roll on.

Brothers Anton and Rio ­Ferdinand are expected lead a black player boycott of this weekend’s anti-racism campaign.

They have told friends they will refuse to wear Kick It Out T-shirts in protest at the handling of the John Terry affair.

It has been brought to a head by Terry’s four-match ban and fine for using racist language in an exchange with QPR defender Anton last year.

Rio is a hypocrite,his retweeting of that racist tweet about Ashley Cole in many ways makes him no better than Terry or Suarez,the facts are,both got banned and fined for what they said and rightly so.

If anything wearing those shirts now is more important now than ever,unless your personal grudge is more important to you than your sport and the ultimate aim of removing racism from it.

non-story, Jason Roberts and others were already advocating it, it's a wider issue.

Rio will now be wearing the t shirt and Slur Alex has commented on the motives of Jason Roberts with respect to this fiasco.

Using the term "Pedestal" sort of explains his thinking.

Why does Rio think he is some kind of pariah when it comes to racism? He has already proved that he is so thick that he thinks racism only works one way.

Every body has to be in everything together! Righto, Baconface. There are examples littering the last twenty years where MANUre have ploughed their own furrow and maintained a robust system of self-interest. Bloody hypocrite.

I can understand Jason Roberts' point re the t-shirt. It's like the executive who drafts a memo and then thinks the drafting of the memo is the solution.

It's window-dressing for the cameras. Hey look, guys, we're all in this together, and then you see the mealy-mouthed approaches to the issue by too many within the game.
