    It's a tricky one, the players who have decided not to wear the tee shirt, how many have taken any other action to improve the situation, have they personally approached the FA, or anyone involved in the Kick it out campaign, or will they simply not wear a tee shirt and leave their efforts at that.

    It's allowing the press to feed off this situation, and therefore manipulate it to their own advantage, let's see some of those in the 'None wearing' camp take some positive action rather than a silent protest.

    We dont know what action these players may have taken in private to kick rascism out, as someone pointed out some manager's have spoken to their players about not wearing the t shirt.
    The kick it out is a great campaign and it's a shame something like it wasnt about in the 70's and 80's.
    Recent event's haven't helped the campaign.

    Agree entirely with this!

    Its easy to complain, but what are Ferdinand and Roberts doing to improve the situation? Are they starting their own initiatives? Are they travelling overseas to spread a message of unity? Are they building a portfolio of ex-pros who all lend their influence and public personas to the cause...As far as I'm aware they're just refusing to wear a tshirt...

    EDIT: Just read 2nd page and realised LTF had already said it...
