Really? The linguistic experts seemed to think it was perfectly plausible he could be using it in a non offence manner.
Yeah, that wasn't what I was referring to so well done. Also the linguistic experts said they DIDN'T KNOW which was it was intended but that IF he was using it in his home culture style way it wouldn't have been offensive. They also said if he wasn't it would be offensive, they didn't give a particular opinion on that particular point either way.
I'll admit I forget which experts decided it but it was his "I said it, and then later on I pinched him in a playful way because i'm hilarious and was trying to defuse the situation kind of way", and the bodylanguage experts, or, you know anyone with two eyes decided from seeing the footage that he was angry and there wasn't a chance in hell the pinching of Evra's skin(in a situation in which he's being accused of talking about Evra's skin colour) was playful, but he was intending to wind up Evra further.
IIRC Suarez was asked about this, admitted he did not do this playfully, didn't provide an answer why he mid conversation after calling him black he felt the need to pinch him and THAT is what led to him being deemed a far less credible witness.
Evra couldn't be proven right or wrong on anything he said I don't think, he was proven right on being called ****** at least once, and Suarez changed his mind on at least one(but I think a couple other points) through the investigation and he admitted calling him ****** at least once.
Hmm, its actually been a while since I read it, I think the one time he admitted to calling him ****** was after the playful skin pinching incident.
So he story was, I playfully pinched him, and then I playfully called him my black little friend. When you make it I purposefully was trying to wind him up pinching his skin... making a reference to his skin colour, and then I lol, playfully called him black.. because I'm such a jovial kind hearted soul. The I called him black in a "nice" way started to look utterly unbelievable and it was his next step in trying to wind him up.
So the investigation basically believed that he pinched him to wind him up then he called him black TO WIND HIM UP, which makes calling him black to wind him up racist, not friendly. IT's a tad confusing largely because of the timing of when Suarez admitted using the word, while Evra says he used it several times which honestly makes more sense. Evra's story, part of it is true, Suarez's attitude on camera looks anything but the story he gave, he was proven wrong, he changed his story and he admitted using the word, Suarez was completely unbelievable, Evra wasn't, simple as that.
