Player refuses to wear anti-"racism" t-shirt

English Premier League soccer player, Rio Ferdinand faces criticism for refusing to wear anti-"racism" t-shirt.

However, the reason he refused to wear the t-shirt was not because of legitimate concerns that the anti-"racism" campaign is actually veiled reverse "racism" against white players and white people in general, or the mere fact that the campaign is unnecessary, divisive and stupid, but rather because "it doesn't go far enough."

Just how far should such politically correct campaigns go? Ban all white players and fans from the league? Would that go far enough? What is the real goal here?

...However, Professional Footballers Association chairman Clarke Carlisle told BBC Radio 5 Live: "We will definitely monitor the situation very closely and make sure Rio Ferdinand's rights as a human being, never mind as a footballer, are not undermined in this position.

"Everyone has a right to free speech - just like you can't coerce anyone into shaking hands, you can't make somebody wear a t-shirt...

Really? So what would happen if a footballer refused to wear the t-shirt because they considered the campaign unnecessary and a veiled attack on white people? I can only imagine how much "free speech" would be respected in that case.

Rio has his reasons. And they're pretty good reasons, given what's gone on in the last few months.
