So if Evra says exactly what you say he said (Don't touch me South American) you think that is fine? Why is that? Because you, a friendless (at least on this forum) White, English (suppositions) person do not understand the connotations it would have to a Latin American, that is fine to say? Wrong. Its just as racist as an English calling a Spaniard a Spic, or an Italian a Wop. And if you don't think xenophobia equals racism, well the UN disagrees with you World Conference against racism and the FA disagrees with you apparently "Rule E3(2) In the event of any breach of Rule E3(1) including a reference to any one or more of a person's ethnic origin, colour, race, nationality, faith, gender, sexual orientation or disability (an "aggravating factor")" I don't see the relevance of France in the issue, unless you are linking it to Patrice (I want to argue with you in Spanish) Evra in some way? In France the term 'Noir' is used for a black person. Negro does not exist in the French Language. In Uruguay, the age of consent is 15 in general terms, but they are quite enlightened in legal terms as anyone under 18 may be 'corrupted' by an older person and therefore it is possible to bring a lawsuit against someone for corrupting a minor. So what is you deluded point BraindeadOpinion?
Liverpool FC confirm that their players and manager KK will be wearing T-shirts supporting Gary Dobson and David Norris ahead of this weekend's game
says the person who libelled Evra all day. What happened to your legendary Scouse sense of humour/atmosphere?
We didn't go through with the appeal to try and stop this from happeneing, but is there anyone else who wants to have a dig at LFC, story after story.... http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/s...verpool?campaign=rss&source=soccernet&cc=5901
That's the way it often is though. You even hear black rappers using the word "******" in their lyrics.
Well in songs by black rappers it's acceptable to call people white motherfucker, white bitch and refer to them as crackers, honkeys etc as well as specifically target and generalise white people.
I know I'm a bit late with this but I've just come on line. Are you really suggesting that on going to work in another country you'd say to yourself: " Hmm, the first thing I'd better do is get a list of all the words in this country that I'm not allowed to say, 'cos you never know when I might inadvertently say something in my own language that sounds like something else in their language and someone may choose to find it offensive even though I don't mean it to be."? Yeah, right.
So sitting down and doing a couple hours research on a country's culture before you visit is too much to ask of someone? Especially if that person was going to live and work in the country. It's really not a huge task. By failing to do this Saurez now has an 8 match ban. Ignorance is not an excuse. It's just something lazy people like to hide behind.
The way Suarez used the word was racist in the UK. Hence the 8 game ban. I have black friends and I would never dream of calling any of them a negro. As I know they would be offended.
The worst part of "Racism" is that it is only a minority that are genuinely racist and dislike someone because of skin colour. Most people ever convicted or punished for saying a "Racist word" tend to be in arguments... A la Evra v Suarez in which case its worse to reference skin colour than someone's family. But in an argument doesn't everyone just say what they think will cut the person they are arguing with deepest? This whole idea you can't call someone certain names but others can and its offensive to say certain words is childish. We don't really care about skin colour just the bullshit grey area that accompanies "Racism".
From the insulting language you use in your posts to other forum users i can fully understand why you back Suarez 100%..
If a word is illegal it is, a black person can press charges against evra for using it as they can if a white person uses it, it is not down to interpretation, if evra called someone a ****** in england he is breaking the law even if he is black also.
I do I buy I book of offence phrases before I go into any country to ensure I offend the locals correctly. It would be rude not to Anyone else bored of this **** ?
Take your LFC tinted glasses off, he has been found guilty, and sentenced as well. He himself has admitted it and published an apology for any offence caused. Posters like yourself are now flogging a dead horse just move on, it`s done.
Haha That reminds me of an old Python sketch where a foreign visitor is going up to people reading things like "Can I fondle your buttocks?" out of a deliberately badly translated phrasebook. Yeah, I'm bored with it all. The only thing that prompts me to continue is all the people coming out of nowhere to join in with pillorying the player and the club when they don't give a toss about the situation and are using it for a bit of opportunist point-scoring. Anyway Eric, How you doing? Hope you had a good Christmas and New Year (oops, just remembered the scores).
Yeah I had a good one Sir, yourself ? ( I'm ignoring the results part ) I've been trying to read but ignore but some of the ****, from all different sets of fans, is hard to ignore - SKY has just been told to go support someone else if he can't see that Suarez is innocent - what a joke.
It is a joke, I keep getting sucked in myself, its pure sheite. Time to let it go agree, no doubt soon as I type this I will get abuse froma spud somewhere else or a manc calling us racists ect, manc mods lfc mods and Spuds mods have to step up here, its fking up the not606 mojo, too fkn serious
