Racism has no place in our game and hopefully this sends out the right message.
I knock the FA quite a bit but fair play to thrm for having balls...

My response to the LFC statement:

I find it astonishing that they have seemed to have forgotten or have chosen to ignore the fact that Luis Suarez admitted to using the word/term of "Negro" or "Negrito" towards Patrice Evra.

You can defend Luis Suarez's heritage along with his own family members being of black and mixed race; but you can not possibly defend the use of this word/term on the shores of the UK in the 21st century on the professional football pitch.

They can appeal all they want. However the right thing to do is to accept the charges and admit a wrong has been committed. Shame on them. A great club has been brought down a notch by totally mis-guided 'player loyalty'.

You're right it is unacceptable to use those words in this country. However that is not a situation that is replicated around the world. My question would be, are we now going to tackle the actual problem of educating players on the cultural differences between this country and that of their own or others they have played in. Otherwise this situation will be repeated time and again. I don't care if its the clubs or the league, it needs to change. Sanctioning players is reactive rather proactive change.
 
Like someone else said, I've been debating dropping him from my fantasy league team, this decides it. Ironically it's Adebayor that I've replaced him with.

I'm glad the FA had the courage to make a strong statement and give him a relatively long ban. Liverpool's statement was ridiculous, and just because Evra said he 'wasn't a racist', doesn't mean he didn't make a racist remark. I have to believe the accusation had some credible evidence for them to hand down the ban.

In his defence, he may have taken Tiote's big boot in the balls. Well, that's what I'd have believed if it wasn't a player with 0 integrity rolling in the fetal position with a red card held over him.

By reacting to racism in a strong way, it helps the proactive actions needed to stamp it out. Basically, look at the consequences, so don't do it.

The Fa cant stamp out racism in South America can they. But they can say, what some of you are used to its not acceptable here. Here is the proof with this ban. What else can they do?
 
Apparently this is an anti-Liverpool conspiracy. A Liverpool supported on facebook just posted:
' yeah his crime is his honesty.. typical munich justice..'

That is low, bringing a 50 year old tragedy into it.

Anyway, regardless of the meaning in Uruguay that word is offensive here and its use should be punished. Well done the FA.

Surely it is better to help the situation with education also though? Personally I think the clubs are responsible but the FA can help by setting out guidelines. Every possible avenue should be exhausted. Its too easy to just sanction a player without him knowing it is wrong. In his country and many other parts of the world, that is not considered racist or offensive by either party. I prefer our own approach but thats because that is what I have been brought up with. We shouldn't be so arrogant to say the way we do everything is the right way. The world is pretty ****ed up when you think about it in terms of everyone getting along. There are so many different approaches to so many issues, with a mixture of success in their application. I'm not saying sanctions are not necessary, I just think we also need to use our intelligence and understanding to alleviate the situation.
 
Kick It Out:

Kick It Out has released the following statement after Liverpool’s Luis Suarez was handed an eight-match ban and fined £40,000 for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra: Lord Herman Ouseley, Chair of Kick It Out, said:
“The FA has shown leadership and intent through what has clearly been a difficult and complex complaint to deal with, and invested time and expertise to ensure this outcome.
"It has demonstrated that it will not stand for discrimination, something organisations such as FIFA and UEFA should take heed of.
“Kick It Out will continue to work with clubs and players, at professional and grass roots level, offering education on what is deemed offensive and unacceptable behaviour."
