Pressure group demands Hodgson attend 'race appreciation' course

A letter of complaint from a pressure group has been sent to the Football Association demanding that England boss Roy Hodgson attend a ’race appreciation’ training course after details of a joke he told about a monkey in space were made public.

Peter Herbert, the head of the Society of Black Lawyers and who also runs the new Race For Sport organisation, has sent a four-page letter of complaint to the FA, saying it was wrong to declare the matter closed.
