I think In my opinion Cavani suffers for racism when it imposed a hard sanction with a word commonly used in Latin America, the FA should study more the context of the word, the person whom he talks and the culture of the country... what a disgrace of decision...

Proper for draconian UK the home of author George Orwell who wrote '1984'....think & freedom of expression police real or imagined?

For a term of endearment in Spanish used in all South America, how dare he?! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sure..

Pffttt...someone reported it? second

So that’s why they didn’t do him for grabbing Yerry Mina by the throat.

Welcome to England He used the word , which was offensive and racist (FA) and there's no place for any kind of racism in English football (FA comms office)
