TLW footy long time... is Woo still missing all the goals? Dave playing ala Inzaghi? and that guy...what was his name... the one who played at the back... shooting all the time... does he still exist??! Hope all is good guys!
Has anyone thought for a second this could all be a misunderstanding? I know this is a Liverpool fans forum and obviously people are gonna talk shit about Evra and Man U etc etc... But honestly to think about this whole conspiracy theory against Suarez is IMO (im neutral) quite crazy.
So about the misunderstanding:
Evra speaks Italian but clearly understands Spanish. Suarez is not so confident with his English and I assume spoke in Spanish during the game.
The word Suarez allegedly used is "negro" which translates to "n*gger" in English. He might have said it 10/20 times because "negro" in Spanish is not a racist word. In South America you call people negro/negra/negrita simply to refer to the colour of their skin or even if they are not black.
Evra obviously felt it was racist to call him that way. For Suarez instead "negro" was not racist. May I also add that in South America the perception of racism is totally different to the one we have in Europe, over there you can hear truly bad stuff which for us would be unacceptable but for them simply aren't racist.
So there is no wrong and right really. Evra is not talking bullshit and has every right to get mad. Suarez is not racist because he didn't mean it that way.
That said if Suarez gets caught saying "negro" he will have a tough time proving what he meant was not racist especially after so many years in Europe.
I am in for this week's if it's on.
Really hoping for some more elbowing, diving, nasty tackles etc. You guys are learning and this is getting exciting.
