Utter Fergie

Some on here really need to look up the difference between racism and discrimination.

 

Brilliant comment. Thats what Evra did, Evra insulted Suarez' family, and when Suarez said ''Why Blackie'' he threw his rattle out of the cot, and got the hump. Sorry, there is definitely more to the Suarez and Evra case that meets the eye, Suarez is the one done wrong by and the FA let themselves be hoodwinked by Manchester United.

 

Calling someone black isn't racist, its a description. To add f***ing and c*** to it, does make it racist, as would monkey impressions like the Chav fan just did. Discriminating someone about being black, not just describing. Calling someone spanish isn't, but to put them down as a fat spanish waiter I think discriminates the person, as is drunken scottish red nose **** or whatever gets said. Decribing Rooney as fat is ok, but to then put him down because of it, like many chants he recieved isn't ok.

Despite saying all this, direct racism from colour seems to be the only thing focused on.

 

Calling them blackie is a racist insult.

 

This is what I find wrong though. There may be a different description of both words, but why is insulting someone because of how they look (colour), worse to how they look (bold, fat or ugly)? Insulting someone is insulting someone, how ever it is done.

 

Behave yourself.

The FA allowed themselves to be guided by a 3 man independant panel lead by a QC who wrote a 115 page conclusion to their enquiry.

The conclusion being, that Suarez admitted using a term that was racially motivated & that did so more than once.

Once he admitted to using the word then he was guilty anyway, if he'd have denied ever saying it, he'd have got off.

 

Seriously, go up to a black guy this weekend and call him blackie. Then maybe you'll understand that it's offensive. It will be a painful lesson but will help bring you up to speed with civilised society.

 

Do you think they'll still be trying to find excuses for racism this time next year when Suarez has ****ed off to Spain?

 

Once he's gone, they'll turn on him like a pack of rabid dogs. See Torres for details.

 

So in a nutshell. The FA threw the book at Suarez over a mix up in translation. Is that what you're saying? Suarez would be guilty as sin if he said when Evra asked him ''Why did you kick me'' and Suarez said ''Because you are black'', well that is discriminating and suggesting that black people are 2nd class citizens.

However the evidence to suggest that Suarez actually did actually use the word ''because'' is not reliable. The evidence suggests he used the word ''Why'' which isn't discriminating.

The FA should have concentrated less on one word against the other and more on context and translation. In my opinion, they took a rather lazy approach.

 

Not talking about the difference talking about people now throwing the word Racism beacuase of the wrong things. It is one of the problems with this now is that people go looking for it and are now making things up. It is not racism if you don't give me a job because I am American, it is discrimination. But seeing calling SAF a Scottish **** or Benitez a fat spanish waiter, it is not racism, it is discrimination.

Not really wanting to get into it as this has been done over and over. Just think some need to get to grips with what is considered Racism and what is discrimination. Both are wrong and both have no place in the sport.

 

Sick of all this racism

One day we could all be grey, Be one less problem for globalization then.

 

Can you try repeating that in English?

 

There is a huge difference between racism and discrimination. Racism involves colour, disrimination involves everything else i.e. gender, sexual orientation, religion, nationality etc.. Calling someone a ''white bastard'' is unheard of.
Calling Fergie a ''Scottish ****'' isn't either racist or discrimination, not allowing him to something because he is Scottish would be discrimination. Its like in the 70s 80s, the English calling Irish people ''stupid paddys'' isn't discrimination, but not allowing them to work in England was. Therefore discrimination is based on actions..not words.

 

Is referring to someone by their skin colour instead of by their name racist?, as in 'come over here black'?

 

Try it out. Let us know how you get on.

 

You're the expert, so is it NOF?

 

I don't see why you would want to refer to someone by their skin colour instead of their name.

 

Seriously mate, have a word, you know what the answer to that is, as you'd never say it!

 

Me neither, just wondered why the press and the PFA weren't all over this last march.

Swindon's solicitor wrote in response to the French player's lawyers in April, saying: "The club wishes to make it clear that it does not condone the reference made by Mr Di Canio during training on 29 March to your client.
"The club accepts that the use of this phrase was inappropriate and apologises to your client for any upset that this has caused him."
