Cameron calls for ``Football``racism summit.
Cameron says ``My message is clear......we will not tolerate racisim in Britain....It has absolutely no place
in our society....and where it exsists we will kick it out``
Could this mean more legislation?
Why just football?
What did Suarez say thats different to what the public hear every day?
Suarez called Evra ``Negrito``
Official definition.``A member of a peoples belonging to a group of dark skinned peoples of pigmy stature``
We have heard worse than that have we not?...............

i felt rather sorry for suarez on this one, things get said in the heat of the moment in a contact sport and before it used to be forgotten very quickly.
evra decided to run to teacher because suarez had said a naughty word, hardly impressive stuff from a player of his stature.

How does that excuse his refusal to shake hands that we have all seen on the news.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Exactly. And these people are, whatever we sane people think, role models for the impressionable.

i would have done exactly the same as suarez under the circumstances, the case has stunned spanish speaking south america where the word he used is perfectly acceptable and not seen as abusive.
if evra had found it offensive he should have confronted suarez after the game and demanded an apology rather than taking it to the authorities.
they are fellow professionals and should not forget that.
