    Cavani Should Face the same ban as Suarez

    Let’s just see how this one pans out. But I think the stench of outright hypocrisy will waft straight down the East Lancs from Manchester.

    Cavani has been pulled for using exactly the same term used by Suarez to Patrice Evra.

    He apparently wrote “Gracias Negrito”, in an exchange on Instagram.
    Cavani believed he was using the term,commonly used in South America, in a friendly way.

    Now that is precisely what Suarez said but Utd insisted it was racist and he should be punished and Suarez was fined £40,000 and banned for 8 matches.

    According to the Daily Star he could be looking at a 3 game ban. Straight away what a shock, Suarez 8 games, Utd player facing 3 games.

    Whether you believe it’s a racist remark whether intended or accidental, a president has been set and he should be banned for 8 games and fined.

    You just know it won’t pan out like that though.

    It will likely go to VAR and fenandez will be awarded a penalty.

    The Anfield plaque is there to remind our lads who they're playing for, and to remind the opposition who they're playing against

    It’s actually quite a serious point. Although neither player meant it as a racist insult, it has been deemed to be so.

    The media, social media and the whole football family rallied round in support of poor old Patrice who said he couldn’t even bring himself to repeat it in the hearing and Suarez was roundly condemned as a racist.

    So, here we are again, now with a Utd player (ironically) in exactly the same position and he should face exactly the same sanctions.

    Theres videos of Evra himself using the N word which is even worse that this word. He was also homophobic.
    Its all about intent and i dont think Cavani at all was being malicious in fact its a term of endearment in South America.
    South americans shouldnt be tried for use of word in English. Unless its ourwardly obvious hateful..

    I dont even think Cavani should face a ban personally. But the laws in English football are different. so doesnt matter about context..
    Now its matter of how the FA see this.. When it came to Suarez they accused him of racism..

    It’s exactly the same term that Suarez used and he excused the use of the term in exactly the same way as Cavani so why the difference in ban length?

    Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva has been suspended for one game, fined £50,000 and must undergo education after a tweet sent to Benjamin Mendy was deemed to have constituted an “aggravated breach” of the Football Association’s rules on social media behaviour because it appeared to reference the French left-back’s race.




    If I recall correctly he posted a little image of a black person on a tweet and said it was Mendy.

    Oh yeah I remember that now. It seems that in reacting exactly the same way as they did on the pitch, in surrounding the officials and screaming for maximum punishment for every little foul against them, they demanded more and the authorities caved in and gave them what they wanted.
