This is MORE than being racist? Its WORSE? Or what are you implying?
The color "black" printed on the crayon package in spanish is signifanctly more racist sounding than this IG comment.
I'm struggling to see who is offended here?

What the feck are you talking about? I got his nationality wrong, my point had nothing to do with nationality.
There is no moral high ground here.
Grow up a little.
It's not different, and it's not being used to describe a car. Nothing wrong with saying black car in the UK either.
However, in the UK you wouldn't say hey "Blackie" or "Little Black Boy" or hey "China man" but in Latin America, this is a normal thing to do that's the main difference.
Its a different culture all together as many have pointed out.
I was meaning the importance of this is more than it being racist or not. It being racist or not is not the only important factor here.
I do not really care who is offended or not, offence to me is not a good argument anyway.
I agree but hey sh1t happens
Sorry this made me laugh, it was shared on IG not Twitter and Cavani is from Uruguay not Argentina! But I know what you meant and agree!
Yes the player is liable, the FA rules specifically state that the named owner of the account is responsible for any content posted whether it by themselves or a third party.
100% correct, especially the bolded part. The fact that this even got so much attention sums up our society nowadays. 99% of the people understand feck all what he even wrote but are just jumping on the bandwagon.
Your ignorance is clearly on show for everyone, as you can't even see the faults in yourself, yet you try to judge the behaviour of people from other cultures. It's hilarious, I have to admit.
Thanks
I'm allowed to make mistakes.
Don’t be naive. There will be kids trying the word out for size.
delete tweet, apologize and move on. Don’t bring so much attention to it so that kids seek it out to see what the fuss is. Whatever the FA will do, so be it
Surely its the kids that need educating?
It would be ridiculous to punish him for saying a perfectly normal word in his own language on his own time in a friendly way, regardless of the questionable etymology of that word. But it's the FA so I expect an 11 game ban is incoming.
I agree they will use it either way, however there is a difference between them thinking its acceptable and not.
Cavani, the devout evangelical Christian, is a racist now huh?
I guess you can't trust anybody these days.

Im afraid we now live in a country were the miserable delicate complainers rule the roost.
The FA will look into it and feel like they have to do something otherwise the above fannies of this world will come out in droves.
The FA ( and most authorities ) these days would rather take the wrong action to appease the many than actually use common sense.

It used to disturb me quite a lot, but I've grown to accept that this is the current development of our modern societies. The cycle of history is inevitable.
No but apparently the great keyboard warriors of RedCafe are.
Yeah because South American countries are so perfect.
I came to this a bit late and not sure what the actual translation is.. but if someone can call a bloke who rescues kids from drowning in a cave "pedo guy", with his whole defence in a defamation case being "we use that word all the time in South Africa", then we need to know what the words mean to those who speak the same language as Cavani.
If it turns out to be racist, he will have to face the consequences

Close to 100 % of the attention is from people like you whining about society, where is the bandwagon?
The FA will want to show some consistency having punished players for use of this word and others when used offensively or in a friendly manner. So if that means a 1 or 2 game ban so be it, we take and move on.
However the club needs to learn from this, we know from the previous situation that this is a word that is common certainly in Uruguayan culture, why upon his arrival didn't someone from the club just explain to him that culturally in the UK we don't use that phrase and it can be seen as offensive. Avoid using it on social media or certainly on public social media accounts.

Irony, I'm pretty sure the Church was one of the main spreaders and proponents of racism in its heyday...
You could say that, but you could also say that anyone with half a brain cell could see how the world has progressed over the last decade and maybe understand that regardless of cultural context, it could be viewed as offensive by some and maybe not to use the phrase at all.
Can we start threadbanning or tempbanning people who implies or outright says that Suarez said "negrito" to Evra back then? It's infuriating seeing people use that as a base for an argument. Or put something in the thread title maybe?
Can't believe Liverpool's PR campaign worked so well on United fans.

And isn’t part of that education showing them that it’s not ok to post that stuff on social media and there are consequences to your actions?
Troy Deeney saying he deserves a 3 match ban. Get fecked.
He did nothing wrong. If they ban him it’s solely to look politically correct. The twitter mob isn’t even arsed about this. Only the wokest of the woke, like Troy fecking Deeney, give a shit.

The word itself isn't racist and that applies to most words in all languages
I don’t think anyone really thinks that he is racist. It’s obviously a cultural difference.
But the FA will make a stand, the guidelines are there so we can’t moan really
People seriously need to grow up. This is the Bernardo Sliva nonsense (a joke between two friends) all over again.
He's putting the boot into us the last few weeks
I hope Pellistri is taking note
Its not the same as Bernado Silva joke at all, this is far less problematic than that.
A joke between friends on a public forum is no longer a joke between friends
Vernon Unsworth did try and sue for $150m damages for being called a "pedo". Greed killed that case.
He also said if I heard right, that if players left the pitch a number of times with concussion they would be perceived as soft by their teammates.
Culturally inappropriate I'd say. Far from rascist. Like others say context is important as is intention.
He should be fined and 'educated'.
I think MU should probably keep out of it or at most say they will 'educate' Cavani.

Exactly.
I'm sure Deeney will love to get attention from this story, he can gain some relevancy again.
The guidelines are there if anybody actually had the common sense to show them to him in the first place.
maybe shouldn't have gone for that much, but don't tell me it was defamation - ridiculous decision by the court
