In one article out of the dozens I've read, it was alleged he used the term "negrito." I lived in South America for 2 years and have traveled extensively there (and have a doctorate in Latin American history). To supplement my knowledge, I ran this by a friend, who has a doctorate in Spanish lit and has lived and worked in Latin America. To the best of our knowledge, this is not a racial slur in the sense that the N-word is in the US. Luis' defense that it is normal to use physical characteristics in casual or street banter appears to be entirely correct.

Evra, (his reputation is suspect) should be given a ban too. Think Suarez is being made into a scapegoat by the FA. Anyway, completely agree with what's written, good one mate. Kev,

I have a large background working in law however I'm not a lawyer and I certainly don't have any ground understanding of UK Law. Nevertheless... Suppose when the FA releases their facts and findings in their investigation and they only propose hearsay and no "hard" evidence. Hard evidence my include, but not limited to, video and recordings of Suarez using the words in a tone/manner that would suggest some sort of racial abuse. IF the FA only relies on hearsay, could Suarez have the ability to sue the FA? There are dozens of damages that could be files against the FA, I would imagine. Even then, would a civil court proceeding have any weight against the FA. Could an injunction be imposed to keep the suspension from happening? The reason I bring this up is I've seen some people mention the fact this would never hold up in a real court. People then go on into hate bashing and no one really explores the hypothetical if something went that far. Any input would be much appreciated!
