I can't see how people can really be upset with this. I was all for throwing the book at one or the other based on who was in the wrong here, but it sounds like it could have legitimately been a misinterpretation/misunderstanding. If Suarez used a word like "negrito" as described in the report, then surely there can be no derogatory racial implications intended by Luis. However, Evra being French is probably not familiar with South American slang terms, and he probably took it as being a version of the dreaded "N" word. I can understand how he could have misunderstood what Luis was saying, and therefore reported it as racial abuse. However, it appears there is nothing wrong with what Luis said, so it is a non issue.
Just my 2 cents though...
