Evra accuses Suarez of racism

[ronanm]

Will be intersting to see his response if Ajax fans give it to Evra on Thursday

Evra ain't playing - Giggs and he were left at home

Long time lurker. I rarely post.

But I was thinking about all this racism bull**** being blown out of all proportion. Isn't the World Cup etc... racist? Pitting country against country, race against race. It encourages division. We thrive on it. There will always be racism in football. It just depends how you view the term racism.

rac·ism   [rey-siz-uhm]
noun
1.
a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

No

France, Brazil, England, Portugal and many more countries have many people of different 'origin' or 'race' but they all play for the country they come from.

De Boer is a prick for saying that.

Focus on his own players instead of ours.

Im sure De Boar has a right to comment on whoever he wants. Especially Suarez, as he was held in such high regard at Ajax.

He has a right, doesn't make it right for him to comment on a matter everyone is desperately trying to wish away.

No it doesn't, but his comments are hardly likely to reignite the row.

[Kenneth]

By the definition, then no.

No

France, Brazil, England, Portugal and many more countries have many people of different 'origin' or 'race' but they all play for the country they come from.

And the world cup doesn't determine that one race, or even nationality, is superior to the others, just that they won some games of football in a particular order.

No it is not.

Not sure how that definition could possibly be applied to a sporting competition in which every country on the planet has a right to enter and compete in (as long as they have a national football association affiliated to FIFA).

Man, you seem to be getting quite stressed at any mention of this in the media or otherwise which doesn't fit our broad view.

And breath, and relax...........

Where was that right when he bit Bakkal from PSV while still playing for Ajax?

I didn't see him saying anything at that time.

He's a hypocrite and he knows it..

Ajax is playing Mancs and we don't need British media to try to reignite this story again as it's time put everything behind.

Mr. De Boer shouldn't concern himself about Suarez anymore as he's not part of his squad or LFC for that matter but worry about his own problems, which by the way are huge and his job is in jeopardy.

P.S. I'm perfectly fine but granted the breath and relax exercise can do anybody lots of good

[Jack D Rips]

De Boer was very complimentary to Luis in the article I read. He did express his surprise about the non handshake but I didnt see anywhere that he said it damaged Liverpool's reputation
