MC/BC is not equivalent of "negro". "Mate" is equivalent of negro.

I was just trying to give an example to demonstrate the cases where one is offended and one is not.

Suarez and Evra talked in Spanish, not in English. And the club has denied he made those statements. In addition the meaning changes with language, and context.
Under no circumstances the fans and the club are condoning racist behaviour. I find it offensive that you are making that assertion. We are only trying to point out the cultural differences which should never be ignored.

The attitude of Liverpool fans in general has been very disappointing.Condoning racist behaviour because of club allegiance is shameful.

I don't blame the fans, coz most of them think with their heart. But the club could've been more responsible, especially with the t-shirt episode.

Did Evra know 'Negrito' is a friendly term in spanish? I'm not sure.

Did Evra know 'Negrito' is a friendly term in spanish? I'm not sure.

According to the FA document, Evra has the interpretation of the word "Negro" with the the italian word (i forgot which, IIRC Negra), that Italian word meant "Nigger", and thus interepreted the Spanish word "Negro" with an Italian context. So Evra concluded that Suarez has used the word "Nigger" on him and hence he got offended and complained.

Then why did they decide not to challenge the decision?

 

[XTerminator]

Yeah. Had Evra known the actual meaning of Negrito (in spanish), i say he'd have been guilty of disreputing Suarez.

Then why did they decide not to challenge the decision?

Apparently there is something LFC wanted to say ( as Dalglish points out in that presser) but they didn't.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

It's funny.LFC defend Suarez verbally yet are not ready to fight for him.

 

[Liverpool_fan]

Then why did they decide not to challenge the decision?

I've no idea. Could be either due to limitation of appealing FA's decision or could be they had no chance of a proper defense since Suarez is really guilty.
In either case the club has messed up big time. Deserve all criticism there.

On to some football, seems like it's going to be Reus to Dortmund this summer.competition to Bayern.

Meanwhile, City can't even sell out their own stadium for two massive matches against United and Liverpool. Big Club

Heh their fans left the stadium early when their team were winning 3-0.
Fans indeed.

Lol I thought for a sec that image is of FM on iPad. Need some rest.

The rest of the world knows that,hope Liverpool fans do it too,sooner or later.The action of not appealing is definitive.

s/knows/thinks/.

I think we're done here.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Btw. Evra is still a massive cvnt.

 

[XTerminator]

So Cahill cant agree personal terms with CFC. I guess he doesnt like the 'Terry will be shagging your wife clause'.

 

[Kl@w-24]

^ He won't sign for MunYoonytid either seeing as Giggsy is still in his prime.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

We have reached an agreement with Mario and he will still play at Borussia Dortmund next season

boooooo

 

[Kl@w-24]

^ Then what about the signing of Reus? I thought he would be a replacement for Goetze.

Google bidding would have been much better, a youtube coverage on PL worldwide/asiawide/whatever (ad supported/premium) would be great.
