I WANT the tribunal to publish cast iron proof to show that Suarez is a vile racist, I want this to be a fair case, but from what has been published so far I'm not sure that's the case.
You aren't the judge nor the jury however. What evidence do you want? The evidence is clearly available and has been all along. Suarez said Roddy's favourite Spanish word 'negrito'. The case was only ever about the interpretation of the meaning behind that. It's either a vile, racist put down or a banterish bit of camaraderie depending on who you talk to or which context it's in. The context in question was a highly pressured professional football match between two rivals teams who are full of spite for each other. Evra took offense to it and Suarez admitted saying it, claiming it was the latter of the two interpretations. The FA's panel clearly disagreed and at the end of the day it's probably right to be Evra's call as to whether he's offended by it. It's clearly a word with racial conetations and he admitted using it. Whether he meant it racially only Suarez will know, but it's not like anyone can take his word for it.
The article linked above is a good one, the Liverpool smear campaign against Evra is absolutely pathetic and totally out of order. It's a complete character assasination with precious little proof behind the allegations they make against him.
Suarez has made his point now, he says he didn't mean it racially, everyone knows that now. So why not just publically apologise to Evra and take the ban on the chin? Given how the FA behave these days they will probably increase it.
