Why can't you understand the simple concept that the word allegedly used is a million miles away from ni**er.
This case will not be a case dismissed. Not in a million years. Nothing to do with fergie. The FA has always been tough with Fergie judging from last season's experience. No the more poeple think about it and the more racism is in the public eye (Blatter did not help Suarez cause here by highlighting the issue), the more the FA will be forced to act and use the Suarez episode as an example to others. If the FA does not act by giving a minimum of 5 match ban and a fine, then all over the country players (amateurs as well as professionals) will think it is OK to racially abuse their opponents. By the way, when my friends use these words with me they use it in a friendly way. When a bunch of BNP hooligans call me the same words, it is different. Either you are very thick or you pretend to be.
What, spanish speaking BNP hooligans have called you negrito? As for your last point, we all know you are very thick.
Bottom line, Evra knows this is a different culture, he's been here a few years, a term like negrito may well be finein Spain ect, but it is different in England, not a common term, a friendly one, as such this is open to interpretation, Evra is smart enough to realise this and is trying to force a politically correct decision from the FA over the use of this word. Common sense is well and truely dead we know that!
How many times have you been abused just because your skin is different to others? If you had suffered you would not treat this so lightly.
If you say so Sockrobber. See how my use of a colloquialism can cause offence? You may laugh off a reference to an Evertonian as misplaced and ill-judged, or you could see it as anti-scouse/anti-liverpudlian. As I said, offence is taken not given.
Thats the whole point you knob, evra was being told to chill out for being a twat not for being black.
The expression is certainly a very long way from Luis Aragones referring to Henry as negro de mierda back in 2004. Though Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has been deeply critical of the time it has taken the Football Association to conclude this investigation, the complexities do reveal what the authorities are up against. Dalglish's complaints were premature and unjustified. ----------------------- Suarez is as bad as Aragones. He meant to sue the term to wound Evra and to offend. The FA will quite rightly punish Suarez. This kind of abuse has no place in our football. Suarez's attitude to his fellow professionals is appaling and to offend on the basis of someone's colour is just unacceptable. He should be kicked out of the country. He is lucky if he is not also prosecuted by the police too.
You still trying to defend your bull, if so show me what law has a list of words that are racist if I say them to a "BME" but it would be ok to for someone of their own culture to say. **** me how many timees will we have to say it is about context.
You could argue that Evra is the one who is culturally ignorant ,by not understanding the fact that negrito is NOT deemed offensive in Spanish.Evra seems ignorant of the Spanish speaking culture . If your saying Suarez is ignorant for not knowing negrito may be offensive in the uk
Funny that, you include a link that talks about a completely different and very racist attack and seem to think this backs up your argument.
By abusing Evra just because he is black, shows how prejudiced Suarez is. the black players in his team must really feel good knowing that they have a team mate holding these views about black people !!!
Calm Down my black little friend, if this is abuse , you must feel you get abused every time you talk to someone, you must really have an inferiority complex by now.And feel your being permanenetly being picked on
Hmm.... here's a thought, if (a mighty big IF) evra does get called negrito and understands that it is meant in a friendly way, would that open up the way for Suarez to the claim that this was a malicious allegation?
Don't you bloody patronise me by calling me "MY BLACK LITTLE FRIEND". First I am not your friend. have I called you "little"? have I made any reference to your colour? you can be very easily traced so do not think you are anonymous and can say what you like on this MB>
I wasnt callin you my black little friend, I was repeatin what Suarez was supposed to have said,yet again you get the wrong end of the stick,not for the 1st time .YOU LEMON!!!
NO, I do not feel permenently picked on. No I do not have an inferiority complex. Nor does Evra This thread and your mocking and trivialising postings tell us more about you and your attitude than anything esle.
