not true mate. i remember a player getting a 6 month ban here in brazil because of racist comments to a fellow player.
i'd go on to say that racism is as big an issue in brazil as it is in london, if not bigger. and by that i'm assuming that london has huge racism issues because of the big number of immigrants.
Didnt evra a few years ago get involved with a groundsman at stamford bridge after the game finished while he was warming down and if i remember correctly he accused the chelsea groundsman of saying something racist so he has form for this kind of stuff.
And may i also say evra is a fucking *word censored*
Boomer wrote:How it stands atm is that the Race card has been dealt.
Evra goes on France TV and makes the accusation but didn't want to make a deal of it. So why say it on TV then if it's not a big deal at the time!?
Evra also says that the ref 'knows it' and it [the N word] was said around 10 times.
So if the ref heard it then Suarez would/should have been sent off.
He wasn't, nor has it been reported by the ref in his report. But the 'accusations' have been noted to the FA.
Also the many Sky cameras haven't picked up 1 instance of a racial remark let alone 10!
Liverpool are standing by there man, where as Man are happy to let Evra deal with it.
I'm afraid Patrice it's not looking could and Liverpool will make sure that IF Suarez proven innocent then the tables will be turned.
Evra is a shit stirrer. He has grounds for this kind of behaviour, remember the French World Cup fiasco, or the accusations of racism he made against the Chelsea groundsman and Steve Finnan in 2006 (both cleared)? Evra is sub-human scum with a small man syndrome.

Yep and evra ended up getting a 4 match ban for the incident.
Im like me many have seen this story, and just because its Evra thought, evra playing the race card again.
Thats his problem. He may well have been racially abused but as with the boy who cried wolf, whos going to believe him after his previous false accusations.
I dont believe it. And can see evra being punished again.....oh and yes evra is of course a *word censored*.

I meant King Jayson's stick. ;)
And bG I would disagree about racism
In London as opposed to Brazil. It's really not massively prevalent here, and from my experience (obviously not as much as yours) Brazil is quite bad.
Evra is a c**t we all know that but i think suarez is a much a c**t as him. that hand ball in the world cup that knocked out ghana was a joke and the fact that he paraded like a champion after was disgusting
Not to stereotype all Spaniards, but isn't there quite a big problem with racism in the country still? (Remember the Luis Aragones incident with Reyes also?)
That said, Evra is an attention-seeking wanker who is likely making the most of whatever may have been said.

There is in some parts.
Your point would be a relevant and interesting one if Suarez was not Uruguayan.

i think with the spanish, they insist calling someone a monkey or chanting is the same as calling someone fat. How else can you think its a great idea to black your face up and say you've come as the hamilton family.
I have heard brazil has racism issues, but the difference between there brazil/england and spain is that its not socially acceptable to be racist.
Evra is a arrogant selfish SOB but he may be telling the truth, judging from Suarez's antics wouldn't put it past him.
If Suarez is guilty of racism he deserves a hefty ban.But likewise if Evra is lying,(and he has got form for throwing this type of accuastion about,(for example,he accused a member of the Chavski ground staff of racist abuse,for which no case was bought),HE should be banned!!!
evra playing the race card again.
) and they both get season long bans
