They wont.. its just a few people being offended because... I don't know.. it sounds offensive I guess.

- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Weird, trying to police others language.
Agreed that it must be a culture shock to him. Although I always think that anyone that moves to another Country, should learn and adapt to its culture. As long as the culture is appropriate.
Doubt he will get a ban personally and if it is maybe a 1-match one, despite what token Laurence Fox here is decrying about the end of society,
I see “ Political Correctness “
Bed time for some users on here

It's cultural imperialism cloaked in a velvet glove.
Hahahah. The fact that this is even a discussion is hilarious. Just shows you how unbelievably stupid the culture is today.
Welcome to the english speaking world Edison.
The way it works here, we tell you how your language is supposed to sound and we also come up with a term like Latinx to tell you how you should identify. Oh its amazing.
Oh but thats enough for today. Tomorrow we"ll talk about pronouns in your twitter bio.
Yes english speaking world is an amazing place in 2020.

Wait til he learns about how opressed women are in the english speaking world haha
Pretty fecking absurd that they've changed the minimum penalty while claiming this: " The FA’s reasoning in raising the punishment threshold is that it allows them to take each case on its own merits "
Would also be typical that a Manchester United player is banned for 3 matches for doing something less serious than another player got a one match ban for
Didn't Rio say his choc ice statement from a tweet himself?
Context was completely different, but expect him to be banned because a) there is precedent for this with the Suarez incident; and b) he’s a Manchester United player, and examples must be made.
Storm in a tea cup this
Not saying he should get a ban but certainly think he should at least go on a racial awareness course. Cavani might quite like it in England and end up raising his kids here (if he has any)and he needs to realise why, in this country, that term can be considered highly offensive. Communication is important and this shouldn’t just be swept under the carpet because he is a United player.
If he gets banned it'll be because of the latter. The precedent set by paragraphs 353 to 355 of FA vs Evra make clear this is not offensive in a friendly context, which was clearly Cavani's use.
You’re having a shocker in here mate. Go get some fresh air.
So erm... has anyone actually said they were offended by it? And all the FA has said is that they're going to look into it?
The only "outrage" I see is from those desperate to fill their weekly quota of saying how political correctness has gone mad and all the usual similar bollocks.

I just find this so hilarious. I dont blame Edison for anything. He was using his own language, it was a positive message and hell, dos anyone in the english speaking world know whats acceptable anymorr anyway. Everyone is walking on egg shells and everyone can get in trouble for something.
Tells you more about the culture than Cavani.
He clearly didnt mean anything bad, it was a common term of endearment in South America so if he even gets in trouble for this, its the most ridiculous thing ever.

Time for Lingard's clothing store to shine.
We need them supportive t-shirts, every single one of us.

He won't be punished. It's a storm in a tea cup...
Being offended by it isn't an requirement.
This is absolutely absurd despite a particular pantwetter on this thread trying to make something of it. Absolutely ludicrous.
Its just such a nasty culture shock though. Feel kinda bad for him. Being accused of being racially insensitive.
I mean we are kinda used to it here and its far worse in the US but to people that arent used to it, I almost dont wanna bring them into this mess.
I was accused of racism here once for preferring Fred over Pogba. Not even kidding.
The FA are?
But he’s put it on his social media , which is a crucial part in all of this . In a public domain , plying his trade and earning his money in an English speaking country , he has used a term that could to many be seen as offensive to many English people.
A thread of fecking idiocy no doubt.
I'm just saying, for all the people using this as another excuse to say how easily offended everyone is these days (and other usual stuff like snowflakes etc), I've not actually seen anyone say they're offended by it.
Why is it offensive to English people though? Have English people ever heard of the term before? Do they speak Spanish? I mean seriously. Its not a term thats in the english lexicon or culture so why would english people be offended by it?
You have repeatedly said I'm offended, when nothing I've posted implies that. This is a tactic i see deployed a lot online when someone has a different view.
Inevitable comparisons will be drawn to Suarez
Difference is context

It's not an English word mate, so if they take offence it's silly.
If it was another teams player, in the same context (as I understand it), then no I wouldn't.
So what are you waiting for?
I think it just comes down to raw power which is why more than likely many suspect Cavani will get suspended despite how stupid it is.
Everyone knows its stupid but people that wanna police speech are drunk on power. There isnt much more to it than that. It stopped being about racism long time ago.
The posters in this thread really demonstrate why this country is an absolute shambles. Grown men who probably have posters of nigel farage and laurence fox on their walls.
This thread wont last long hahaha. This is no longer about Cavani is it?
I suppose it depends on the outcome of the investigation.
I won't exactly be surprised if he gets banned for three matches...
Meaning that if you don't agree with the over the top PCness you are what?
Neither will I and that in itself is batshit insane.
And it isnt his fault at all. At all.
