I found this to be interesting.
"I played against him many times and we always have problems with each other," said Drenthe in the new edition of Heroes .
"You know what bothers me so? That tone with which he always "negro, negro 'told me. I understand that negro in South America is very common, but we can not stand it. "
"Mahamadou Diarra, my teammate at Real, could explode if negro said to him. The Argentinean Gabriel Heinze and Gonzalo Higuain said it initially on the training of Real, but they are stopped. "
Can this be seen as racist? "Negro" isn't seen as a derogatory term in Spain, is it? Clash of cultures?
As this happened in Spain, is this situation different to the Suarez-Evra gate?
Thoughts?

The most interesting part of this article is the revelation that Diarra might spontaneously combust.

Cause you've posted an article which is obviously going to cause trouble and frankly, your other articles are a bit of a joke as well.

No, this one is a (rare) serious one. I don't want to cause trouble, and I apologize if I do.
It's interesting that Messi is being accused and what's more interesting is that Messi won't be given the same treatment (from the media and fans) as Suarez did.
I know most LFC supporters are still hurt from the Suarez-gate so I don't want to open up any old wounds so forget about this article. Will delete it.

I actually think it raises a good point....
Suarez and Terry are not exactly well liked or thought of as saints in the game.... But should Messi's nice guy image stop this from being an issue? (i'm not talking about this article, but in the general footballing world)

Hammers, please don't take him (or the others) on. Untill new evidence emerges there is nothing left to talk about on the matter, especially on the LFC board. Good luck in the play offs

DrFeelGood,
I'll put this down to a mis-understanding, but as far as I am concerned, all angles of the Suarez-Evra incident have been discussed in-depth numerous times over; and that includes the cultural difference take on things.
It's a subject that I think both the United and Liverpool fans are sick of. It's also a tinderbox subject that we're not prepared to lose any more users over.
