What punishment would you give Suarez/Terry/Evra for their crimes if found guilty

Unless he has no understanding of Spanish or S. American culture. Which is possible. But then he shouldn't jump to conclusions just because Suarez has been skinning him all match.

Also, the English villagers should come to terms with the fact that their interpretation of "Racism" is not the same as it is in 100s of other countries around the world. And it isn't a UK-registered trademark. Perhaps a global standard definition might help.

(I fully believe the "misunderstanding" fudge will win the day. But how come Suarez has been charged and the England Captain hasn't yet, when the "crime" was more obvious and on record? Surely not because he's a pillar of English rectitude, not like that Uruguayan Latino diver bloke?)

Enrique Ortez was appointed following a coup and was actually moved to the Interior & Justice Ministry. Not surprising as he'd been on a rant to insult a lot of foreign leaders as well as various minority groups. Hardly a reference, especially as he could have used any words he wanted - he was clearly not intending to be endearing or PC.
