Were the English FA right to hand Luis Suarez an eight match ban?

someone tell suarez that if utterin racist words is acceptable in his country, it isn’t over here! If players are gettin 6 to 8 month bans for failing drugs tests, (rio ferdinand, etc) then i STRONGLY feel the same should apply here. King kenny was on record as sayin they would accept whatever outcome. now the club is backtracking. If terry is found guilty he should be banned too! Both players are world class no doubt but to hell with that if they racist….

Dylan, I would say it’s the guys in the FA. Quite simply, Terry’s English. There always will be at least a little bias in that case. So racism still reigns supreme, just in a subtler form than the banana throwing, monkey noise making forms of expression of years past.

The terry/suarez incidents are very interesting. with suarez you have a newly arrived player who knows little english using a word that he overheard man u players calling evra in an playful way. he received 8 matches. let’s not forget the hatred between liverpool and man u. also from what I understand evra was the only player who heard suarez use the word in question. next you have terry who is both the chelsea and england captain. he has no excuse for uttering what he said. from what i’ve read, several qpr players have verified that they heard what terry said to anton. this is not terry’s first incident in terms of improper abuse. a few years ago he was sent off in a game against spurs. when leaving the pitch he was said something racially charged although i believe the FA never acted upon it. and of course let’s not forget the wayne bridge scandal. all things considered from what I understand terry is to get off with a lighter punishment. and yet to me, that doesn’t seem quite right for whatever reason. does anyone care to explain?
