Racism in Football

FA commission says in mitigation for John Terry, Sir Dave Richards gave testimony about Terry's contribution to "charitable causes"

Was Suarez allowed to have anyone give testimony about his extensive charity work in Africa? Nope.

David Conn @david_conn
John Terry commission decided to impose only a 4 game ban partly because it was "heat of the moment" and responding to Anton Ferdinand abuse

Was it taken into consideration that Suarez was responding to Evra's abuse? Or that it was 'heat of the moment'? Nope.

What really ****s me up in all this, is the non handshakes between them since the incident, and how Suarez was made to feel for wanting to stand his ground, how we were told he was shaming the club and football!

******s! ******s! ******s!

Intriguing: FA's own barrister prosecuting Terry said words "perhaps an unconscious stream of invective." FA saying racism was "unconscious"

[Alex]

If the FA say he isnt Racist. Then in the next line he says 'racism was "unconscious"'

Which is it?

Martyn Ziegler @martynziegler
Crucial line in FA commission decision: "There is no credible basis for Mr. Terry's defence...

[RichC]

The FA are so inconsistent

Oliver Kay @OliverKayTimes
Regardless of no repetition, Terry 4-game ban for racist insult ("almost unconscious stream of invective, delivered in anger") is v lenient

Absolutely absurd.

How can people not see the hypocrisy leaking out from this decision - Terry admits he racially abused him and there's proof to confirm this but gets half the sentence of Suarez who used a semi-ambiguous term where it's difficult to interpret the intent in Spanish and there's not even any proof of the much-fabled repetition.

Bollocks isn't it. A load of bloody bollocks.

But it'll just be seen as Liverpool fans complaining again.

Seriously, they're dismissing his defence outright and refusing to punish him.

Rob Harris @RobHarris
Initially John Terry told the Mail days after the match that he said to Ferdinand: "‘Oi, Anton, do you think I called you a black c***?"

Rob Harris @RobHarris
It later emerged Terry said to Ferdinand: "f*** off, f**** off ... f****** black c***, f****** k***head"
