Round-up

1. Uganda: Racism is Why Obama's Losing to Clinton - Yep, that's the headline of this cliched hit piece. Also check out the references to the Iraq operation as a "slaughter", "illegal war" and "state terrorism", as well as the completely unfounded assumptions about what the American public feel about Barack Obama.

2. UEFA's flagship club competition, the UEFA Champions League, this week provides a high-profile platform for the Action Week being staged by the Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) network. At matches both last night and tonight, announcements are being made over stadium public address systems; captains are wearing Unite Against Racism armbands; Unite Against Racism logos are appearing on stadium screens; and children escorting players on to the pitch are wearing Unite Against Racism t-shirts. In addition, clubs are distributing the FARE Action Week poster, which is being made available in all stadiums. These and other activities will put over the message that everyone in football - players, fans, referees, coaches, governing bodies and media - has to take a stand against racism and join the fight.

This is all well and good. But what do they actually plan to DO to prevent racism? Because some kids wearing T-shirts isn't going to make a jot of difference to anyone.
