QPR defender Rio Ferdinand will not appeal against his three-match ban for Twitter abuse.
The Daily Mail says Ferdinand will not appeal his three-game ban for using the word 'sket' - slang for a promiscuous female - on Twitter.
The QPR defender was handed the punishment by the FA last week, who found him guilty of misconduct for abusing another user on the social media platform on September 1.
Ferdinand insists he used the term as a joke and has now received the written reasons for the ban from the FA.
However, despite being unhappy that just one language expert was used to decide his fate, Ferdinand has decided that appealing would be a waste of time and money. He feels that appeals are rarely successful and it would cost him in the region of £30,000.
