what happens if he had said "why French?" is that derogatory because hes not worthy of a name???

your also forgetting that negro is commonly used in Uruguay.
--------------------------------
Of course 'negro' is commonly used, it's a colour. It's commonly used in every country not just Uruguay.

it only started because Evra thought he was called THE "N" word...but wasnt which he then subsequently changed from his original report. This is when the whole case shouldve been thrown out

regardless why would it be any worse if it was racial and not about a nation of people?

Why does racism sit above all else?

Why should people be punished for the past?

This is the 21st century. Time to move on a treat everybody as equal.

The issue is why not?

Is it derogatory to be called black? No it's not, so how can it be abuse of any kind? Let alone racial abuse.

What to appeal a decision you feel is incorrect?
---------------------------------
No, for him to goto the CAS in this instance.

I am sorry but that excuse is nuts, proven drug cheats in sports can go to the CAS, but Suarez is not allowed.....not even with all this so called paper thin evidence he was convicted on?

We can't but it still isn't racial abuse to ask, "why, black?" as there is no derogative used in reference to race.

Bobby, I just feel TOORON is a massive drain on peoples time. Any thread he gets on, where he just says "black" to everyone elses "white" (no pun intended) and they spend hours and hours arguing with him, leaving other threads devoid of posts.

What they don't realise is that they are playing in to his hands, feeding him attention, which is what he desperately craves.

He's like JA606 cancer, eating away at it from the inside.

-----------------------------
it has already been explained, several times, why in itself it is derogatory, it doesn't require a qualifying swear word to make it so.

Try this - walk into your nearest shop staffed by a person of a particular ethnicity, walk up to the counter and ask for 20 benson and hedges, <insert ethnicity here>. no insults, no qualifying swearwords - and see what happens.

So we agree you have no evidence that is is not possible for him to go to the CAS or as you put it illigal!

You are painting yourself into a corner and making yourself look like a right plank while you do.

Are you finished following me around every article I go on and using your childish nickname? I mean if I'm going to have to filter you just so I don't have to see your childish comments then sobeit. I'll leave it up to you. Ask yourself one thing though, for somebody who craves attention, why do i filter people? For somebody you say is intentionally going around winding people up, why do I stay on my own board?

The simple fact is, you're a grown man who acts like a child, rubbishing everything which goes against your opinion, doing childish drawings and turning every adult debate into a childish insult match. So make your choice.

Grow up? In what way are my comments childish? This is fact. You cannot abuse somebody without being derogatory. You cannot racially abuse somebody without be derogatory in regards to their race. These are factual statements and to suggest somebody is childish just because he/she doesn't agree with you is quite frankly ridiculous.

Walk into your nearest shop and call the assistants sister a c*nt. It won't go down well but that doesn't mean that the Spanish word Negro is racially abusive.

This isn;t what happened though.

He asked "why, black?" which isn't derogatory meaning it isn't even abuse nevermind racist abuse.

Elvis said it is against FA rules to mention race at all, if so fair enough, Suarez was against this rule. However why wasn't he punished for this but instead abuse and racist abuse? I'll tell you, because it is not about what Suarez admitted to, it is about what Evra said that Suarez said.

------------------------------------

To refer to someone by their skin colour alone isn't a nice thing to do. I wouldn't do it to anyone - especially not in the middle of a heated exchange.

it's not. had Suarez made a complaint about it, and evra admitted to saying it, or it could be proved some other way, then I'm sure he would also have been banned.
