He did admit to the racial slur..
But, by law, he is wrong. As I said before, if he came out and said "I admit calling Evra a negro, but I thought nothing of it as it is okay to call people this in Uruguay. I understand this is not acceptable in England, so I apologise." Then I think people would have just said, fair play. But this whole "Wah, wah, why should I have to live by English rules" attitude he's came out with is why he and the club are looking stupid.
Sorry han, I think you are a good poster, but this is total ******** and screams of ignorance on your part also.
Suarez has to do "this and that" because he's living in this fucking country! I'm not exactly asking him to do anything ridiculous am I? I'm saying he should live by the rules and laws that EVERYONE that lives in England has to for **** sake. Is it so disrespectful that he is treated the same as me or Ash or anyone else here?
I find it very amusing on the whole. A foreigner comes to England, calls someone a racial slur and gets defended. Imagine a Brit or American going to Asia or something and accidently saying something insulting there and demanding he has no punishment because it's ok to say such a thing in the Western World. The World's media would have a field day.
I mentioned that because you also mentioned that he should be speaking English because he's working in England. Come on! It's not like we are saying he should kill someone if that is allowed in his country!! Would I expect you to speak /Maltese if you were living and working in Malta? No, I would probably speak to you in English to accomodate you. I know it's a very simple way of viewing it, but you brought this point up. I think it's very selfish.
Yes he was wrong in calling Evra that in
our views, because that is what we believe, but he did not call him that as an insult and that is what matters to
him, thus his stand to defend himself. Why are Liverpool backing him up? Maybe it's because he's their player so they have to stand by him. Do you see Chelsea condemning Terry? And he's English so he is the one who should know better than anyone else, rather than someone who's only been in the country for a year.
Also, yes he admitted to saying the word, but he didn't admit to it being a racial slur against Evra, and that is the entire point of it. Fair enough the point you made, he could have been more gracious and said what you did, but these are arrogant pr!cks! All of them not just Suarez., he'll most likely continue to insist tht he did nothing wrong no matter what punishment he is slapped with, simply because that is his belief, no matter what country he lives in, so he'll accept the punishment before admitting any wrong doing
