Reading striker Jason Roberts will not wear a 'Kick It Out' T-shirt in protest at what he perceives to be the campaign group's lack of action in combating racism in football, reports BBC Sport. Kick It Out's annual week of action starts on Thursday and players have traditionally worn shirts promoting it.
But referring to incidents involving John Terry and Luis Suarez, Roberts told BBC Sport: "I won't wear one.
"I find it hard to wear a T-shirt after what has happened in the last year."
"I think people feel let down by what used to be called 'Let's Kick Racism Out of Football'"
Roberts said he knew of other black players who were considering not wearing the T-shirts this weekend.
He added: "I'm totally committed to kicking racism out of football but when there's a movement I feel represents the issue in the way that speaks for me and my colleagues, then I will happily support it.
"I think people feel let down by what used to be called 'Let's Kick Racism Out of Football'. People don't feel like they have been strong enough.
"Unless they're independent, unless they don't have to explain their actions to anyone then they won't be held accountable."
