Just to comment on the Luis Suarez debate. "Negro" in Spanish can be translated as "black guy" and certainly doesn't have the implications that the word might contain in English. Notice that from the dialogues between Colombians and Brazilians of all shades who live in my own neighbourhood.

"Neegro" in English sounds offensive. It might sound like some reference to slavery. "Negro" in Spanish with the short "i" sound is just a reference to colour. Context and tone is everything but most of the time it's no big deal. Would be interested to hear Antonio's opinion on this one.

This is all to do with the relationship between Manchester United and Liverpool, and not much to do with the subtlety of language. If it had happened in a match between West Brom and Norwich, there would have been no complaint and no tribunal and no crazy punishment or teeshirts, and half a forest of newsprint would have been saved. That's my opinion.
