I think the club realised that wearing them basically said that the use of racist language is ok if if is by one of our special players. He did use the word and was no doubt winding evra up . However he chose the wrong word. And no doubt knew what he was doing. He has a proven track record of being a cheat, and he bites . One of the reasons he left AJAX is that they did not support him over the biting incident. I'm sure that the club are well aware of that and he has them over a barrel. Glen Johnson has been put in an impossible position. If he had come out that day and not worn the 'we love Suarez' the team spirit would have fallen apart. Is'nt it great to know that the world wide face of our club is now Suarez And not our captain. And the longer this sordid story is kept alive it will be worse. Suarez should accept his ban shut up and get on with it.
His track record is not worse than Rooney's or others in the England team.
I think he left Ajax because he wanted to play in a better league and get more money.
I'm fairly sure several players would have consulted Glen Johnson about the shirts before it happened. Glen Johnson was criticised for it, and came out to defend himself, so it's pretty clear how he felt about it.
Anyway, this has been done to death. I'm with Suarez on this, and that he is not a racist and hasn't done a racist act. Others who like to put all their trust in the FA are welcome to do so. It's a bit funny though, that you can read about the FA banning a player for 3 games for punching someone, actual assault. Whereas name calling...8 games
