He says that he used the word “negro” in a way with which he was familiar from his upbringing in Uruguay.
In this sense, Suarez said, it is used as a noun and as a friendly form of address to people seen as black or brown-skinned (or even just black haired). What Suarez is saying is he basically said “what’s the matter with you mate” but these words translated into English are “why, Black” the FA then had a decision of either believing Evra or Suarez.
The FA accepted that the word ‘negro’ can be used as a slang word in south America, in the same context that some people use the word ‘brother’ in our country, but the FA decided that Suarez did not use the word ‘negro’ in the context that he described. The FA said friendly terms cannot be used in arguments? I can’t believe for one minute that they don’t think people say “what’s up with you mate” when arguing. I think I always use the term ‘mate’ when arguing because it kind of defuses the argument so to speak, I’ve said plenty of times, especially during a football match “oh F**k off mate” …who hasn’t?
The problem with using the word ‘negro’ in this country is that it can be used as an offensive word, this is why Suarez was always getting a ban for this BUT for the FA to believe every word that Evra said and completely disregard Suarez claim that Evra said to him "Don't touch me, South American" without a shred of evidence for or against either claim is absurd. There are so many question marks over this whole case that’s its shocking that top paid Journalists have chosen not to pick it apart and just believe the FA.
Answers Please:
1. Why did the FA let Evra see video footage before he gave them his final statement but refused Suarez request to see it?
2. Was David Gill involved in this case what so ever, I find it hard to believe he wasn’t.
3. Why did the Commission accept the request of the FA to reject parts of Hernandez witness statement, opinion or not surely a fellow South American can talk about his own cultures.
4. How did the FA find Evra credible and constant when he changed his accusations and the amounts of time he claimed to be called these words on a number of different occasions?
5. How did the FA find that calling someone by the country of origin in an angry manor ‘not offensive’ when they have banned fans for aggressively calling a player “a French t**t” in the past.
6. Why the FA expected Suarez to remember word for word a conversation he had with Evra a month previous.

Are you calling me a racist because I think you should disapprove of Suarez's racism?
No but you seem to want to play it out for aslong as you can.
I don't think I've made a post on the Suarez incident since the report came out. Yes what he said was wrong but he in some way partly used it within the context of his own society which is still wrong in England & he's been delt with albeit I feel the 8 game ban is too much given most bans are a number of games with the rest suspended for a period of time but the FA have used this as a fuck you to Fifa which is very harsh on us, given we were told in no uncertain terms not to appeal & given the Rooney situation this is very cheeky of an national association.
Yes Luis Suarez was in the wrong but lets face it he hasn't killed anyone whilst drink driving, he hasn't sexually assulted a female or had sex with an underage girl!!!
