I don't know about you, but the recent game between Manchester United and Liverpool really riled me up. I mean, i just really don't understand how Liverpool fans can be angry with Evra - yes of course he got their best player side lined for eight games but as to the actual motivation behind it, it was purely just.
I guess i have a hard time understanding how players can boo Evra when Suarez admitted to saying a derogatory word which is deemed racist in English Society. Therefore, the case has been ruled upon, he admitted it, was found guilty, punished, and surely that's it, line under the sand? But no. Liverpool obviously feel like that's not the case. They feel like Evra should be booed because Suarez didn't do anything wrong. I really don't know how fans can come to this conclusion. We are in England, and therefore we follow English rule? Its simple as, surely? We wouldn't go into a Muslim society, such as Dubai, and purposefully expose ourselves or be 'intimate' publicly as it is common knowledge that the country doesn't accept it.
So why then, can a famous football player, come here, know the law, and racially abuse a football player and expect not to be punished? Its no good saying 'its perfectly acceptable where i live to say N*****' because you're not back at home - i personally feel like the use of that word, especially when the person saying it is angry so obviously they are trying to insult you, has no place in today's society, and anyone found to be saying this, should be punished.
I also think it was disgusting to boo a victim of racism, as what on earth has Evra done wrong? I was further appalled by the knowledge that Liverpool had supposedly 'unknowingly' published a video of some of their fans being racist/making racial gestures on their very own club site. I find this shocking and too 'convenient' for Liverpool; after all they publicly displayed their support for Suarez by wearing Suarez t-shirts, so that to me seemed a step too far, and begs the question, what are Liverpool really supporting, do they condone what Suarez did, but most importantly: where's the support for the victim?
Let me know what you think and please note, none of my blogs aim to be offensive or argumentative, i'm just listing my views, and am open to how other people see things!
