English FA Lays Down The Law On Luis Suarez
In a case which seemed like ages to complete the English FA handed Luis Suarez and eight game ban for his alleged use of a racism term against Manchester United’s Patrice Evra.
This case is a tough one to form an opinion one. What I do think however is that Luis Suarez makes it very easy by his actions to have a governing body like the English FA decide to make an example out of him. First off he isn’t the England captain, second Suarez’s one finger salute against Fulham and pulling a Mike Tyson with Ajax last year biting another player doesn’t help with his character issues. The English FA couldn’t be seen as soft against Racism and Luis Suarez is a perfect player for them to make a statement.
Liverpool fans won’t be happy losing far and away their best player but hopefully this is a signal for every other player to think twice before saying something racist in the heat of the moment.
