and my point is merely..... who knows what someone might take offense at, offense is in the ear of the hearer...... if suarez took offense is doesn't matter if evra emant it and apparently thats the same for evra.... and why the charge is made.
i just want to see whats the decision at this point. i don't mind seeing a decision if its the right one and is clealry the right one
I agree to an extent, but you also have to consider what was said itself. Like I said above, you can take offence and claim almost anything is racist, but there would still be a difference between calling someone an overtly racist term and using a general term that was taken offensively. Besides which, isn't Suarez' whole defence that he didn't take the South American thing offensively, and hence his response was also not meant to be offensive?
as good a spot as any to post this and show up the corrupt fa
Hmmm, another one sided viewpoint there...you seem to have forgotten Rio getting charged for elbowing a Hull player after Gerrard got away with elbowing both Welbeck and Brown...

Surely based on KPR logic that would make him as bitter as Mark Robins?
What if he was speaking the rest of the sentence in Russian, to someone who understands Russian, you stupid spacktard?
Mmm...spacktard...good comeback

And that's a pretty poor argument if you're trying to use it in this case, cos Suarez didn't say the rest of the sentence in Spanish, and wasn't talking to a fellow Spanish speaker.
what is worse
a) making a racist remark about someone
b) falsely accusing someone of racism
evra has accused suarez of the first one while being guilty of accusing marriner of being a racist. both offences are as bad as each other
a) is obviously worse. It's a common principle of law that actually committing a crime is much worse than a false accusation. Prisons aren't full of people who falsely accused someone else of committing crimes, are they?
