Negro in spanish is the color black, non offensive. It's not like negro in english which is ment to be offensive. For example, la pluma negra = the black pen in spanish. Maybe Suarez is innocent after all. They probably just misunderstood what he said.
i dunno maybe there was a degree of ignorance but even the translators said it cant be deemed as 'playful' or in a manner other than offensive i think hes just trying to save his image
... just like you would call someone 'blondie', or 'red', or 'chubs', or whatever.
Where he grew up, it does not have a RACIST meaning. Here, we seem to be oversensitive so we deem it racist.
Let me be clear about this: I'm very much against REAL racism, and if he had used the 'other' N-word, I would have fully agreed with the punishment, but this just seems like a cultural misunderstanding and alot over overreaction.
Negro is Offensive... I thought he knew Evra by name, if he wanted to call him why didn't he do that by his name?? what a duchebage this chap is.. Ignorance is no Excuse
The guy who Rooney kicked helped Rooney get the ban reduced. I don't think Evra feels that Suarez had a misunderstanding otherwise he would have probably helped Suarez out.
I never said he was a racist; I just said that I'm glad about the punishment. It will avoid future confrontations and misunderstandings w/e you think is Ok for you it might not be Ok for another person and people must learn how to respect that. This is a good example to teach children about manners and how you should approach a person; my mother gave me a name for a reason. If you don't know it, you just have to ask. it is that simple.

Well he's not in Uruguay, he's in England. Ignorance is not an excuse.

another load of bullshit statement its not what was said but the context that it was said in. also he aint in Uruguay
I'm glad about the punishment; he is not setting a good example for the children out there that loves the sport.
