I was unaware the word cavani used had been used in the past and banned by the FA
It hadn't, as far as I know.
But it was used in the much scrutinized Suarez-Evra affair, thus gaining a negative connotation, being perceived in a certain light in England...and that was, I take it, the background from the FA's perspective.
Again, I don't agree with them - not in the slightest.
But "negrito" is neither here nor there. For one thing you can't use one absurdity as justification for advocating further absurdities. And for another, it would be much harder - technically speaking, so to say - to set a precedent in this, current case.
Absurd as the Cavani ruling is, the reasoning is simple enough: That word is potentially offensive, so do not use it.
What would the reasoning be here? Airplane emojis are potentially offensive when posted on Feb 6th? The
specific combination of emojis used is potentially offensive (when posted on Feb 6th)? Or...what exactly? Surely you see how this turns absurd (even more absurd than the Cavani business) very quickly?
