Terry to be charged.
but there is no evidence what so ever of Suarez making a racist comment
the term is "negrito" but no matter how endearing it is supposed to be it is still a reference to skin colour. The term is not used or understood outside Uruguay for good reason, it is not acceptable.
the 'ito' makes it in the diminutive - which is supposed to be an endearing term...Just call me TomTomito...
This article casts an interesting light on the Suarez situation: http://www.anfieldindex.com/4782/lfc-fans-perspective-suarez-racism-ban.html
This is Suarez' account:He agreed with Mr Evra that they spoke to each other in Spanish in the goalmouth. When Mr Evra asked why he had kicked him, Mr Suarez replied that it was a normal foul and shrugged his shoulders. Mr Evra then said that he was going to kick Mr Suarez, to which Mr Suarez told him to shut up. As Mr Kuyt was approaching, Mr Suarez touched Mr Evra's left arm in a pinching style movement. According to Mr Suarez, at no point in the goalmouth did he use the word "negro". When the referee blew his whistle to stop play, Mr Evra spoke to Mr Suarez and said (in English) "Don't touch me, South American". Mr Suarez replied "Por que, negro?". He says that he used the word "negro" in a way with which he was familiar from his upbringing in Uruguay. In this sense, Mr Suarez claimed, it is used as a noun and as a friendly form of address to people seen as black or brown-skinned (or even just blackhaired). Thus, it meant "Why, black?" Mr Suarez maintained that when he said "Por que, negro?" to Mr Evra, it was intended in a conciliatory and friendly way. Mr Suarez said this was the only time that he used the word "negro" in his exchanges with Mr Evra during the match.
hopefully sunderland will take all 3 from city tomorrow.......
