Just as we'd all hoped that Liverpool FC might have finally been able to sweep this under the carpet, or file it in the hope everyone's forgot how appalingly they were when they stood behind Suarez, it seems even their own have now come out & slammed the club
From the daily mirror
Local anti-racism campaigners slam Liverpool for Suarez stance
Anti-racism groups have criticised Liverpool for "critically undermining" their campaign by backing Luis Suarez.
Local activists slamming the Reds include members of the Liverpool Black Leadership Forum, Merseyside TUC, North West United Against Facism, the Society of Black Lawyers and the National Black Police Association, among others.
The Uruguay striker was banned for eight games for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra during the two sides' Barclays Premier League clash at Anfield in October.
Though the club decided against an appeal, they have repeatedly made clear their dissatisfaction with the guilty verdict and Suarez compounded the problem by refusing to shake Evra's hand ahead of the return fixture on February 11.
Both Liverpool and Suarez apologised for the latter incident and Suarez issued a public apology five days after the Football Association released their written judgement on the case, though he has never apologised directly to Evra in a public forum.
An open letter from local and national black leaders called for club and player to do just that.
The letter, displayed in full on the NBPA website, read: "LFC actions, in vehemently rejecting the findings of the FA inquiry, their public displays of support for a player found guilty of racist abuse and his subsequent refusal to shake the hand of Evra at a recent game is completely unacceptable. These actions we believe could be considered as inciting racial intolerance.
"Whilst the subsequent apologies for the failure to engage with the traditions of a pre-game handshake are to be welcomed, there remains deep concern about LFC's absolute refusal to accept the findings of the FA's investigation. As such these apologies fail to meet the test of genuine remorse and understanding. This is further negated by LFC's failure to apologise for racism either through the club or Suarez.
"Neither have LFC recognised or acknowledged the consequent damage to race relations resulting from their actions and recognised by many people of all races across the country. As a result efforts to combat racism in football and the wider society in general have been critically undermined.
"Compounding these serious errors is the failures of Liverpool's civic leaders, many of whom have remained silent on these critical issues and have failed to publicly condemn LFC's decision not to robustly and effectively challenge racism."
Gloria Hyatt, who leads the Liverpool Black Leadership Forum, added: "Liverpool FC has presided over the worst incident of racism in football seen in recent years.
"Their misguided handling of the ... saga has let down all of those in the city who work hard to challenge racism and to make Liverpool a better place to live for everyone."

Society of Black Lawyers and the National Black Police Association
Seems a bit discriminating these groups. Never heard of the N.B.P.W.A but I assume they have a women's version of the N.B.P.A? |

What a desperately insecure being you must be to seek such attention and to spout such putrid hate against a club. |

Football is not suffering from racism in England. The fact it is now apparently such a problem is merely to distract us from other news. Load of bollox, Suarez wasn't racist - he was trying to piss Evra off and Evra was doing the exact same thing. It's all the older people trying to make up for what they didn't do years ago.
100's of footballers are black and don't get racially abused week in week out - therefore not a big problem. The few individuals in crowds that do it are outed by people around them and aren't worth the time of day. Stop trying to be a crusader. |

THS your finished on here you have been exposed, so log off and live your imaginary life with your fake adopted black kids, How sad can someone get all because you just wanted to have a go at Liverpool you made up a whole new life but you got found out

By:
Little wonder you try to change the subject shabba/cob/freddie k
Your club has been shown up even by local members of your community. I might have hoped you saw this thread as a way of asking for forgiveness for your club (although I'd suspected you would probably no longer wish to post on these forums given how you've been exposed) but know let's change the subject. It seems you have been watching too many KD interviews |
