DeadLinesman Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Didn’t Suarez say Negro, not Negrito? This isn’t to defend Cavani at all. He’ll get a 3 game ban minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning Gold Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Cavani will get 1 match tops. That's what Balotelli and Bernardo Silva got for posting racist jokes and I can't see how way Cavani did was worse than that. If anything it's less bad, but obviously you can't ban someone for less than 1 match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything it's less bad, but obviously you can't ban someone for less than 1 match Honestly, I think it’s a bit harsh banning him instead of a fine or something. But I think the worry there would be “did we just go easy on racism and set a bad precedent?” - which is a fair worry. Even though I don’t think Cavani’s an actual racist - I think it’s just a cultural difference sort of thing. He’s just come to England from France where saying “fuck your race” is an acceptable insult to utter out loud in public too... so you can forgive him for not thinking too much about the racial sensitivity of what he said. Having said that, when you’re in a new country and there’s some things that aren’t socially acceptable... but they are in your homeland... you should follow the social norms of where you’ve moved to. And accept those norms so as to not accidentally be offensive. But yeah I think a 1 match ban based off those other players’ bans for “similar” occurrences makes sense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could imagine the uproar if Cavani can't start the next game but United could bring him on as a sub in the second half. If the miminum penalty for a racist comment is three games, how did Silva only get one game? If the Silva incident is used as a presendent, than Cavani will get a one game suspension.

Spike Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, Cicero said: So essentially racial insensitivity in those South American countries. It's embarrassing. The absolute nerve to police someone else in a different language. The ban is ludicrous as is the outrage, for what purpose? Because it looks similar to a word in English? It smacks of condescending cultural superiority. Mary mother of Christ, Antonella Messi refers to herself as 'la Negra' on Instagram. It doesn't even necessarily refer to a black person ffs, people are being more racist in England by attaching their own prejudice to a word that isn't even used by them. I just watched a doco on Maradona and the spanish speakers referred to him as 'el negrito' a few times. Bloody hell, imagine if they knew you can go to a supermarket and buy a tin of 'negros frijoles' It seems to me that in the UK and the USA and mention of colour is perceived as offensive and a sleight no matter the context. It's a disease on the culture of language Edited November 30, 2020 by Spike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machado Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Context his key here. Suarez using a similar word to get under Evra's skin was completely different. You can perfectly call someone a negrito in an endearing way. Denying this is denying multi-culturalism. You can't translate a word directly and misinterpret it. Cavani is just speaking to his friends who share his language and linguistic nuances in the most ordinary way like he always has. That some folks who work for the English FA reject and punish (!) this obvious cultural contrast is ridiculous. With all the money he's got, I would sue them for damage to his image. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted December 7, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted December 7, 2020 Can’t say I’m surprised. It’s a match that clearly hasn’t lived up to the potential. He will be great wherever he goes next. Just watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted December 7, 2020 Administrator Share Posted December 7, 2020 Should return to Juve. But can definitely see the PSG move on the cards. Especially if someone like Neymar leaves (to Barca?) to free up the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted December 7, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted December 7, 2020 I can't see PSG off-loading Neymar right now. They are going to be very thin on attack options if they do and bringing Pogba in is going to take some time on the ramp-up which is evident from his time spent in England. Plus, you'd need someone playing with him to stabilize his performances and who at PSG can really do that? I can see Juve wanting him back there and he honestly would probably listen to Pirlo more than Ole based on their past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
