Another reason this might end up embarrassing: I assume since Rio appears to be one of the possible poster boys; the "black Union" actually means black & mixed race union?
So Luis Suarez would have as much right to join as Rio Ferdinand yes? So how would the union have represented Suarez in his case if it had been in existence then? Would the black lawyers association (who appear to be willing partners in this enterprise) have put the full weight of its lawyers in support of Suarez during the tribunal? Since until a guilty verdict; as a union member he would have expected full cooperation & legal help his union could provide.
A hypothetical: what if this union born out a need for greater action against racism has to represent a case where a black player is accused under 3a of calling say for example Park a "gook" or "yellow ****" and their player is found guilty by the FA. Is that player chucked out of the union as they represent everything the union stands against?
