QPR veteran Ferdinand may drop FA support over ban

QPR veteran Rio Ferdinand is considering withdrawing his support from future FA initiatives after his three-match ban over Twitter comments.

The Daily Mail says Ferdinand is to consider withdrawing his support from future FA initiatives in the wake of his three-match ban for using the word 'sket' on Twitter - slang for a promiscuous girl or woman.

The QPR defender, 35, is still furious after an FA commission found him guilty of misconduct for abusing another user of the social media platform on September 30.

Some people in football believe Ferdinand is the victim of a witch-hunt.

Ferdinand was a member of FA chairman Greg Dyke's commission that was set up to safeguard the future of the national game and has previously stated a desire to become England manager one day.
