Suarez Charged with Racism by the FA: An analysis

Greg, back from another little break, has decided to do a "special edition" episode of LFCtvUSA, giving his two cents, and in-depth analysis, of the facts & hysteria surround Luis Suarez being charged by the FA for alleged use of "abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards Manchester United's Patrice Evra contrary to FA rules", with further allegations "that this included a reference to the ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race of Patrice Evra."

If that was a Man United player, say Wayne Rooney saying it to whatever coon you have on your team, then I'm sure you'd be attacking him like he steered a jumbo jet into your house.

[LFCtvUSA]

@ILoveRichardDoidge Am I supposed to take you seriously? You just called players on my team "coons" and I'm supposed to take you seriously? Dude, piss off.

[ILoveRichardDoidge]

@LFCtvUSA I was referring to the Australian cheese.

[LFCtvUSA]

@ILoveRichardDoidge that's bullshit and you know it.

[ILoveRichardDoidge]

@LFCtvUSA I was making a point towards that Negrito elcair you can find in South America which I'm sure you're well aware of, because ethnic slurs are alright now if there is a product which calls goes by the name of said gerogatory term.

Want me to send you a print out of a packet of coon cheese as part of my defence? Maybe in colour to show I welcome people of all backgrounds and not just blacks and whites, unlike you.

[LFCtvUSA]

@ILoveRichardDoidge I apologize for being unable to afford a color printer. Apparently I'm an offensive person because of this.

@AvocadoCake agreed with the english player thing..if ur english your price tag and immunity is trebled!

[andytom2495]

Of course they had to charge based off an allegation, so they could launch a report and come to a verdict you utter moron.

[AvocadoCake]

And they have a double standard, they don't have innocent til proven guilty, they have innocent unless they don't feel like it. They are trying to bully Suarez out of the league, yet any English player has immunity.

[AvocadoCake]

You still think Terry will get charged?

@Jhaldir correct my friend, Liverpool supporters are delirious, he admitted it you idiot @LFCtvUSA

[Jhaldir]

This is incredibly disingenuous. The FA does not need evidence of Suarez calling Evra a "negro". Suarez has admitted to saying it himself. The problem is that Suarez claimed in his carefully written report that he meant it in a friendly and conciliatory manner. This contradicts ALL video evidence of the exchange when the players said the word was used (and both players agree with this).

Do you realize england is not latin america? If it's ok to say go call someone black people it and find out.

[mh166188]

he admitted he used the word.....and to think evra would lie about something like this is just sick.

[glennyboi7]

Shouldnt you be focusing on your own country instead of complaining about our press? SUAREZ THE RACIST!!!!!!!!! 19 TOP OF THE PERCH. YOU'LL NEVER GET A JOB.  FACT
