Wayne Rooney has threatened the FA that he’ll refuse to take part in promotional activities because they gave him a ban.

Pakistan have refused to return to the pitch because they were accused of ball tampering. Then the umpires refused to return to the pitch, on the understandable grounds that the match was over.

In the light of these shameful and petulant actions, I am left with no alternative but to announce that I AM REFUSING TO BLOG ABOUT THESE INCIDENTS. I apologise if this upsets any fans, who I know paid a lot of money to be here today, but I must take a stand. I would have loved to blog these refusals, but sadly the actions of Wayne Rooney and the Pakistan cricket team have made that untenable. This is a matter of principle; a line must be drawn in the sand. I refuse to be held hostage by their refusals.

I sincerely hope that we will be able to resolve this situation, and return to blogging about refusing sportsmen in an amicable manner. But until then, I remain firm: there will be NO BLOGGING about sportsmen refusing to do things until they stop refusing to do things. I refuse to lower myself to their level of refusing to do things, so I won’t do that.

So there.
