Kaka Class
A great move for player and club (romantically, we'll see if so in practice). The summer seen a return "home" to AC Milan for Ricardo Kaka. The Brazilian has been plagued by recurring injuries and is again out of action for a number of weeks with a thigh injury sustained on his debut.

For this reason, I have decided to suspend my current pay for this period of time".
Rainbow Laces
In this weekends fixtures across England's professional football leagues (Sat 21st and Sun 22nd of September) look out for rainbow laces on players boots.

The campaign itself is not set to achieve too much, there are like many of these things some logistical problems and a lack of support from clubs. But if it can help to bring attention to and help to reverse attitudes ir will hopefully lead to a future acceptance and support for gay footballers. It isn't an easy one, on one hand it would be "safer" for players to remain silent but more ramifications can happen to individuals keeping it a secret and bottled up.
