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.

<ok> Nailed it as usual LTF
 
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.

Each to their own but as Clarke Carlisle has indicated, there are much better ways and proper channels to make that point. All they've done is damage the fight by creating division in the ranks. Splitters are not what is needed at this crucial stage. If those players really wanted to make a stand, why not approach the PFA and explain what they want? The PFA can then look how they make their way forward. This publicity stunt only draws peoples attention to the fact they are boycotting Kick. It all looks a bit of an ego trip to me and is completely the wrong approach. If they wanted something more out of Kick, would it have been that diffcult to sit down with them and the PFA and actually clearly define the problems in the both the approach to the campaign and the wider issue of dealing with the problem.

Poorly thought out for me. This is evidenced by nobody being able to explain what their point is further than saying that Kick is paying lip service. This protest has no substance to it and has left most people wondering what the **** is going on.

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...
