I just think he used a word which he didnt know was racist in this country so its more of a mis-understanding to me. I hate the man but he is not a racist in my eyes.
Well, to be honest, if you don't think he is a racist then I don't see how the FA can charge him! Crazy! Why would they go against someone that knows none of the facts, seems crazy to me!

No we are not but to him what he said was fine and not racist.
It is key to note that Patrice Evra himself in his written statement in this case said 'I don't think that Luis Suarez is racist'.
It is also our opinion that the accusation by this particular player was not credible - certainly no more credible than his prior unfounded accusations.
Its just a ridiculous decision, believe me, if substantial evidence came up then he deserves everything he gets, same with every player who is racially abusive to other professionals
Only problem is the FA are setting double standards and seem not one bit interested in doing anything about a much clearer case in Terry/Ferdinand.. where on Camera ' Black C**t' was clearly said
to me the FA have much such an awful decision because of the following reasons:
- Nobody heard the offence, No other players or officials.. and Only Evra himself claims 'racial abuse from Suarez took place'
- There is no video Evidence, Sound evidence. Nothing, they have gone on purely the word of Evra.
- Evra in his opening statement said ' I Believe Suarez is not a racist' something the FA agreed upon, yet they still sanction him.
- Suarez is from a mixed-race family himself including a black grandfather
- Evra twice before has put in claims of racial abuse and both been found to be lies
- Finally, the word in question ' Negrito' is a common word in south america and is used on Chocolate bars, Kids toys ETC, Some of the Uruguayan national team are called Monkeys and a former capatin was called ' The Black Boss'
the language barrier is completely different, surely the FA need to understand that
In my opinion with Blatter coming out saying Racism could be sorted with a handshake, Suarez was getting charged from day one.. Guilty or not guilty.. they needed to set an example and they couldnt do that with the England captain as it would look bad on them.

H's been in England for about 9 months and Europe for over 5 years. He should know by now what words are acceptable and which are not. Its not an excuse.
well that's ok then. If I think its ok to murder people then I should be allowed to murder people.
Words can be said in different ways, it's not only the meaning of the word, but how it is delivered. For example. If someone you knew came up to you and said 'Alright you ****', in a friendly jovial way, you would be fine with it. If someone random came up to you and said 'Alright you ****', in a threatening way, you would be less than fine with it. It depends how Suarez meant it, but at the end of the day, the FA wouldn't have taken this decision lightly, and they obviously haven't rushed it. They must have some hard proof they haven't released yet.
I think you can maybe questions his knowledge and willingness to learn in countrys what is right and wrong. Plus you try learn a whole new language and culture in 9months its not easy.
Not really because where is it ok to murder people???? The word he used it not a racist work in his country.
irrelevant, you go by the rules of the country you are in

True, but if he is not guilty then surely the police could/should do something about it too?
Thats what im waiting for, if there is evidence then i fully agree to the ban/fine. Infact if he is guilty then i done think 40k is enough, a full weeks wages would be more suitable.
it was a bad example, but the point is that you adapt to the surroundings. I forgot he hasnt been in europe for over 5 years.
- Evra in his opening statement said ' I Believe Suarez is not a racist' something the FA agreed upon, yet they still sanction him.
He hasn't been charged as a racist but for using racist language.
And the police are investigating Terry. When that is concluded the FA will take their action
He has been in Holland for 4 years not England and maybe he didnt use that word while is time in Holland or maybe if he did the players he said it too just let it go.
Is suarez going to be able to play tomorrow?
