Articles like this are useless unless they tell us what he said. If we don’t know what he said, how are we to judge if this is reasonable or not

They're generally not allowed to, because again context doesn't matter anymore due to the climate of fear due to the woke brigade.

Stuff 'em. Cavani said 'gracias negrito' to a friend congratulating him. In the context of his language, culture and just general circumstances, its a term of endearment.

This is NOT the same as Suarez, who used the same term in a totally different context.

The ban for Cavani is ludicrous.

They just going to ignore the Mina incident then.

It was in the refs report that the ref saw the incident and didn't think it warranted another mention.

Indeed as a Manchester United fan obviously i am a bit miffed but if you look at this as a case or alleged racism then its it completley crazy , this guy was his friend , this will happen to other players and people , this now is the current agenda and woe betide anybody thats says something that is on the limits of the new normal

Aye just read that. Just ref proudly exclaiming how incompetent he is.

The offending message was sent and appeared on Edinson Cavani's Instagram stories and it read, "Gracias negrito", along with a handshake emoji.





"The message I posted after the game on Sunday was intended as an affectionate greeting to a friend, thanking him for his congratulations after the game," the Uruguayan said.

"The last thing I wanted to do was cause offence to anyone. I am completely opposed to racism and deleted the message as soon as it was explained that it can be interpreted differently."

Can't remember where I read it mate but it was deffo posted that the ref saw the incident

“It is a term of endearment in Latin America,” Dr Sabatini tells i. “They also have other terms of endearment that are equally offensive. They’ll refer to a girl who is skinny as ‘the skinny one’ or even, la gordita, ‘little fat one’. That doesn’t make it any less offensive.

 

[davek]

Ridiculous decision to ban Cavani.

 

[RomanReigns]

Gonna start calling people la Gordita from now on

I know, I read Ref had seen it as well, but if he did, why didnt he even get a yellow-make's no sense really

It was a red as well mate, but let's be honest the officiating was absolutely dreadful that night. The dive by Pogba, the sly push by Fernandes on Richarlison, the neck round the throat.

 

[Zezti]

Nice of the FA to wait untill after the cup match to ban Cavani...
