racism in sport

here's a note from Arturo Delgado Ruiz on the situation with Liverpool footballer Suarez, who was banned for racist remarks. Please leave your own comments on this affair or on racism in sport or racism in general below.

"I think Suarez´s situation deserves a correct explication. Well, first I would say that I don´t believe the Evra´s accusation, because in the Premier and France all people know how is his conduct on the grass and off. Even, he has had some problems with her coaches in the recent past. Here, the really important is the ethnic problem. Evra has been playing in England during years and he knows the multicultural issues that appear from all sides. And for this, he knows the damages that the word "negro" can do in Public Opinion.

But, is necessary the persecution that Suarez has recived? I think not. Suarez is a great footballer and better person, but the press and journalists have attacked him. Why didn´t they see how Rio Ferninand removed his hand? or Why did evra celebrate the victory too near Suárez? Ummm, these questions haven´t interest for anybody, I don´t know.

I don´t support the racism, but I think that respect and honor must be same for all. Here, this have not happened."
