    He doesn't, even if he did it doesn't take away from the fact that Suarez admitted it does it?
    He admitted saying the word black in spanish.............. not calling him a "nigro"

    No, he admitted calling him a negro. This is a fact, I suggest you read up on it before you argue any further.

    "Por que Negro" I believe was the comment.

    You mean that spanish comment that you just said isnt spanish???

    Sounds like you'll never be happy so, my sympathies. This is football. It's not a moral game and is filled by chumbags from top to bottom.

    Am I recalling it right, when the whole Suarez/Evra thing happened, did Evra call him a 'dirty South American' or say something about his sister or was all that unfounded?

    I remember it being mentioned but was it ever proven or admitted to in the inquiry?

    No matter how hard you try to squirm his way out of it for him, he admitted it himself. No need to try anything else to change that FACT.

    This is something that gets to me also.

    Should we actually expect these people to be role models??

    I mean why are these people our role models? Do we actually aspire to be Suarez or Ronaldo or Messi, or do we just love to watch them play?

    Your talking rubbish mate. You cant say a sentence in spanish and claim that just because the words look similar that they are the same word

    If Suarez said "your a dirty dub" could we just say that he was being racist because the word Dub is almost like Dubh which means black in irish

    But yea lets not leave a really valid point cloud your argument
