Evra accuses Suarez of racist remarks | Suarez guilty of racial abuse

Says the guy who wants to patronise people with asterisks and give American English priority over other forms.
Not a single person ever, I hope!
Using the 'n-word' as opposed to the actual word is very much an American thing. It's not a case of Britain being different from the rest of the world.
Where do you stand on the swastika, by the way? I take it you agree with the German/Austrian legal position that says its public display, regardless of the context, should be banned?
And despite that they still banned him? Is this so they didnt look bad? I don't get it
Surely this now off topic?
you dont get it.
I get it. You don't get that not everyone uses the same language conventions as the good ol' US of A and there's nothing offensive about that.
Shut it, you stupid Mick.
Very, people need to chill out a bit, pete should have been a bit smarter though because it was clear to me some people would take it the wrong way.
Nah, I think Mike's right, apostrophes being used instead of astericks amounts to the same thing.
Pete's sometimes a bit too smart for his own good with his literary references...although I did enjoy that "Sack of Merde" one
'' is clearly more offensive than *.
I dont know about the German law. But I assume they have such laws to prevent any provocative use of such displays and to be sensitive of people who lived through such evil.
cnut.
It's funny that you think the use of a word used without any malice is more offensive than calling someone fecking thick. Should the word ever be banned a lot of black 'comedians' will be out of work.
This thread has descended into a farce.
Oh Boss is in here, I totally didn't expect that.

Its really impossible to discuss an issue like this without the topic broadening.
I thought a four match ban was a farce. Having said that, whatever he was told was no excuse to behave like he did and get away with it. If he punched Suarez in response today, he's still get a three match ban.
The law doesn't just prevent the symbol's use in a provocative manner. There is a blanket ban on its publication, with the exception of its use for academic purposes. So for example, if we were posting in Germany and we wanted to have a casual discussion on a news story about the use of a swastika, it would be illegal for us to post pictures of said swastika. Even historical model Luftwaffe planes are not permitted to feature the swastika.
You are basically arguing for the same ban, only on a word, not a symbol.
Should this kind of discussion really be in the soccer forum?
Honky alert.
cnut and a half.
Aren't you from Maynooth, you animal rapist? Nowhere are the people whiter than in Maynnoth. Over three surveys have proven that beyond doubt.
using the word nigga has become acceptable. I dont think that one will ever become removed. It's established and rooted itself within this current generation so much that hispanics call each other niggas. Basically alot of people try and use it. Yet even using that word if you're not black causes problems. I've seen it first hand and the reaction is always, 'if you can use it, why cant I?'
black comedians take advantage of the fact that they can sound funny with it and crowds seem to like it. Then it's also in hip-hop culture and such. So in that sense, I dont see that word going away anytime soon.
Now the other one is more clear cut and from where I'm from if you use that in any context it's unacceptable. When I see black comedians use it, I just shake my head. You get mad when someone else uses it but then you take liberty in using it as well. That's their approach and from my hometown, kids do the same thing. Makes the problem even more convoluted. That's why I wonder if it will ever disappear from society.
they are not wrong imo.
all I am saying is we can have a discussion without spelling out the word.
FA says it "will now begin making enquiries into the matter" following allegation reported to referee Marriner at the end of the game.

FA to investigate Evra claim that Suarez racially abused him at Anfield today. Ref Marriner made aware of allegation & reported to FA.

I have no idea what you said, since it was asterisked out.Yup I'm the catalyst,
*** face.
It was a comment in jest anyway, I'm sure you have a chip in your head sync'd to the Caf that informs you when the topic of rascism arises. It's ironic that you talk about people having a fetish for it, when you too rise to every single occasion to engage someone in a debate over it.
2Pac said "a 'nigga' is a guy with gold chains round his neck. A 'n*****' is a guy with a noose."
MOTD.... The FA have been made aware of an incident, as was the ref at the time.
Hope he gets fecked. Utterly classless and there's no need for it.
We all know he's a dirty cnut, but that's just taking it to a new low.

I'm glad MOTD have mentioned it.
puts LFC in an interesting position. I hope they come out defending him.
..of course he can swear he never said such words.
Just alluded to on MOTD, no names mentioned of course but we'll all soon know
Hope there's evidence and he gets punished.
...he said Evra and Suarez.
