    The table doesn't lie.

    It perfectly reflects how #bent the refs have been against you.

    Of course. And sexist comments get no punishment (see Mourinho and various FA members)

    The tweets were 6 years ago - doesn't make them any less offensive of course.

    To be more specific:

    Racism (by non-British) > Homophobia > Racism (by British) > Sexism

    which is similar to the punishment model for violent acts

    Biting (by non-British) > Punching/Stamping > Biting (by British) >Headbutting

    Racial comments get four games too. Terry got four games. I think Rio did too. Suarez got eight because he did it more than once (in that game)

    Was it? I thought Terry got longer. If all 4 games then fair enough, take back that comment.

    Thing is though this wasn't during a game. It's social media use. What happened with the infamous choc ice comment - that's more the comparison to be made here.
