KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Messi in 'supposed' race slur

Dunno how new this story is, its on the bbc site but anywya similar accusations made long time after the event by the everton player royston ? against messi, just interested me cos at the bottom it said the spanish football authority is not considering any action.

I'm Not justifiying suarez's actions cos he is in england should abideby english rules but it just goes to show how culturally different percetpions of language can be

Its in all the papers it alledges he called him a negrto or the south american word which is quite common and in ordinary use over there now where have I heard that before?

Read this earlier, Messi doesnt seem like a racist at all. Trying to diminish his name, these racism claims are mostly trash, Terry's on the other hand has clear video evidence

In today's society want to get to somebody accuse them of racism. You don't need a scrap of evidence just say it.

Getting out of hand all this bullsh*t crazy world people really need to come into the modern day and realise that racism goes both ways white people get called racist names just as much a coloured but nothing gets mentioned about that . It's just becoming fashionable and people know it will get newspaper coverage . Some people will do anything to draw attention to themselves.

its odd spanish football, busquets was caught clearly calling marcelo a monkey and a [oops] but nothing happenned to him.

you can call some1 a monkey, if you call them a (color reference)..... monkey it's deemed as r&cist.

I agree with that its wrong to call someone a name based on color. Thats why terrys outburst is worse than suarez's

Need to have some standards of decency and i dont find it hyprocritical either.

So like, Drenthe is so upset, nay, "racially abused", about what Messi may have said that it's taken him until now to talk about it? Well, that's fine, but you're going to have a problem proving it, and this almost certainly has everything to do with the Suarez miscarriage of justice than any actual feeling of abuse. Watch the FA snowball of stupidity gather pace.

Its madness and quite honestly I'm sick of it. Don't have the energy to go to that path again.

I don't care what names he called him. If someone has upset him with name calling he should tell his mum, not the press. Pathetic.

Regarding the Terry thing, people seem more upset that he allegedly called Ferdinand "black"......isn't 'cvnt' a more offensive word than 'black??? The race card rears it's ugly head again.....
