Black Players Union

We should probably wait and and see if it happens and the form it takes, before getting all upset about how bad it is.

To be fair mate, it would be a huge surprise if it happened. I cannot think of a single organisation, where the results have actually been positive in terms of creating more unity rather than divisions. But then again, I don't have an agenda.

There is no way there was ever going to be a 'black' PFA.......the idea has simply been mooted to bring attention to the fact that the FA has no firm regulations regarding racism of any form and the John Terry situation has highlighted that fact....

No need to worry about the ramifications of something that isn't going to happen.....

They want a separate PFA because they know that any players suspected of racism will be protected by the current PFA, innocent until proven guilty and all that. If they're sufficiently high profile, like Suarez and Terry, then they will get full backing from their clubs too.

Is it worth having a separate PFA for this though, is the question.

never gonna happen but the media love jumping on a bandwagon.

Can I ask, those that say it won't happen johnny, Vblock, ...........we already have a black police association, there was a fella on ssn representing black lawyers, it seems to be all the rage to have these separate assc/unions. So why not footballers?

why are black people more deserving of the anti racist attention over other minorities?? its a ridiculous idea and the Rooney Law is a joke as well to ever have a rule that makes you choose a candidate because of where in the planet they happen to come from instead of their skill set is the most stupid idea going.

It is racist kron. Overtly, blatantly, racist. No other word for it. Perhaps a black players union should start up a "Kick it In" campaign because they are perpetuating the very thing they claim to be against.
