Hmm....Luis Suarez handshake snub copied by mascot at Manchester City's match with Aston Villa Video: Do impressionable kids copy the behaviour of their Premier league idols, for better or worse? Maybe, as an Aston Villa mascot is caught on camera refusing his opposite number's hand a day after Luis Suarez snubbed Patrice Evra. 9:57AM GMT 14 Feb 20125 Comments TV cameras were at Villa Park the day after Suarez caused outrage in refusing to accept Evra's hand ahead of his first start for Liverpool following an eight game ban for using racially abuse language towards the United fullback. The fall out is still being felt at Anfield, with sponsors having a word and the American owners flying in to the north west to sort out a PR disaster for the club. But the impact may be being felt away from Merseyside, if this clip is any evidence. Aston Villa's young mascot takes part in the obligatory pre-match ritual, but, coming face-to-face with a nipper in a Manchester City shirt elected not to engage in the niceties. Whether he was influenced by Saurez only he will know. And another thing: Former England manager Steve McClaren rebuilt his career (then destroyed it again), following his troubled national service. Maybe the scars haven't quite healed. He clearly has the fear.
Of course kids are impressionable. I'm fully expecting the sale of junior-sized KKK outfits to go through the roof, before the season is out.
the kid didnt shake the other kids hand because he probably thought he is only supposed to shake the players hand...i dont think this is suarez's fault ASWELL
