So the FA have released their full investigation comments into this
https://the-fa.com/uE4VWc
Basically confirming that they understood it wasn't racist, the people involved didn't think it was racist, the expert didn't think it was racist but they decided to ignore all that.
It also confirms that they think it was wrong because the word negrito sounds like a racist word regardless of any translation. This pretty much confirms that you're not even allowed to say words that sound like a racist word. God forbid anyone signs a player from Niger, presumably they'll be immediately banned.
They also said it was unusual that the player hadn't received social media training...wtf. Presumably now we'll be warning all our new signings that the FA are morons and as soon as you sign here you aren't allowed to speak your own language.
I wish I could be a fly on the wall in this training he's going to get from the FA.
