Evra accuses Suarez of racism

[Philip FC Kopenhagen]

I don't know if someone have commented on this.

Yesterday Alan Hansen commented on the Terry case I think it was, and he used the term coloured about "non-white" (apologies for the term) players. Immediately after many people on twitter, youtube etc. called him a racist and he should make a official denial about using the term. I know the term coloured probably aren't the political correct term to use but come on now. The whole "you are a racist" is coming out of proportions.

Sorry for the off topic comment I just wanted to say it but you probably already know.

On topic:
Of course Suárez should know better and not use the term towards Evra. At least if the knew how petty Evra is. I think the real racists in this case are the FA. The FA doesn't even give a flying **** what the culture in South America is, and what the term means there. They just assume that he used it in a racist way. It really bothers me to see Suarez being called a racist. I believe in all my heart that Suarez is not a racist and I hope Suarez and Liverpool will appeal the verdict. And what is this BS that if Liverpool appeals the sentence FA gave Suarez they are against the non-racist campaign? So they should just accept a non racist being sentenced as a racist? That's just ****ed up. I also read yesterday that the the official report from the independent counsel maybe will not be published until mid January and then Liverpool have 14 days to appeal, and if they decide to appeal the decision about Suarez being racist or not maybe decided at the end of the season. Correct me if I'm wrong. I hope Suarez will get his name cleaned.

We were ****ed soon as Blatter came up with his racism comments - the FA was like a bull in a china shop wanting to show how 'tough' they are with supposed racism. This incident ends up hurting the anti-racism campaign in football.

We're ****ed in the future with anything FA-related now. Once Suarez comes in front of the FA for his middle finger then you can expect another 3-4 games on top of this ban. The entire incident has been a total disaster for the FA and the repercussions will be felt for years to come.

some knob: Saurez is a racist cunt and your clubs a disgrace
Me: why whats happened
Some knob: he called evra nigerito and your club is defending saurez
Me: oh..if you don't mind, I know what Negro means and N*gger, but what does nigerito mean, its not in the english language
Some Knob: ....ehh...little black man..
Me: So whats racists. 'Little, Black or Man' or Nigerito

You really told him there

This is all just PC gone mental, and Suarez being unlucky to say it at the wrong time. If it was not the time it is, the FA would have set an example of some other poor fella saying something without any racist meaning.

It's just sickening how so many can condem Suarez a racist without even knowing anything about the case, and Suarez now have to live with that label for the remainder of his career because the FA couldn't ****ing bother taking in context and looke at the whole incident instead of just one word used.

I ****ing hate PC, it ruins more than it helps anything. Like the mentality of real racists is going to change because you don't use a certain word.

If Suarez used the term negro in a conversation in Spanish then it shows how much the situation stinks.

Hansen cant say coloured he has to say black. Suarez says the Spanish for black and thats unacceptable.

Catch 22.

Thats a very good point that

I hope if Liverpool decides to appeal that Liverpool calls in some of Suarez team mates from Uruguay so they can tell them how absurd this case is. I know Liverpool probably called in someone who was an expert and know what the term negrito means but obviously it didn't make any impression. Maybe they already before the hearing decided what the verdict should be. It wouldn't surprise me at all.

The not so delicious irony of meat-head football fans chanting "racist" at Suarez with the near-certainty that a large portion of them will be knuckle-dragging racists themselves.

The Greater Manchester Conurbation certainly played a large role in the returning of a BNP MEP. Certainly wouldn't surprise me is the self righteous cretins were amongst them.

the FA are like FIFA old and corrupt bth need to change so football can moved forward.

Very balanced and fair article imo.

Had to laugh at Wigan fans last night, chanting "racist".

People in Wigan. Chanting racist.

Can't wait for Oldham fans to get stuck in.

To be clear the judgement wasn't about what was fair or moral, but what was lawfull. If you signup to a contracted agreement with stated charges then its lawfull to enforce them. Law is impartial.

Well, IMO the punishment dished out this week is political and does not take into account the gravity or nuances of the actual situation.
