Let's look at the FACTS. (as Rafa would say)
Fact number 1. No video footage was released or uploaded for the public to see.
Fact number 2. The accusation made by Patrice Evra is just that, an accusation. The speculated words that were used. Were Negro and/or Negrito. None of this footage was ever shown to the public. These words in Luis Suarez first language (negrito at least) are not seen as racist.
Fact number 3 - No football player to this day, has ever been charged of racism on a football pitch, at least in this country.
Fact number 4 - A "smiliar" instance happened with regards to John Terry and Anton Ferdinand, this footage WAS released. It is clear what was said and in what manor. This was to my understanding looked into by the police. To this day it has been mute on any charge.
Another thing is, if the FA have categorically stated that Luis Suarez IS NOT a racist......BUT DID.....use racist language.
Patrice Evra also stated, he did not think Luis Suarez is a racist.
IF, Luis Suarez and that's IF did use the "racist" language AND DID say it in the manor deemed racist, then he must be a racist.
The FA are charging him on the account of saying something racist, the charge is based on the manor of how it was said. So if he did say it and they have charged him because of the words and how it was said. He MUST be a racist. Correct?
How has he been charged with saying a racist word(s) in the manor deemed racist, but yet not a racist?
But this is WHY he has been charged!?!
How can he NOT be a racist?
It makes no sense and it smells very very very very iffy.
I mean just look at that Mirror article, it's almost like they've been waiting for the perfect moment. Quoting Dalglish from a while back etc etc
"They" wanted to make an example, and that is exactly what they have done.
Regardless of any common sense or it being wrong or right at all.
It's loop-holed, it's corrupt.
The FA are the ones in control here and yet have contradicted themselves in the very same statement.
Hmmmmm.
