Suso fined for calling Enrique gay

http://www.thefa.com/News/governance/2012/dec/suso-twitter-comments.aspx

The charge, which the player admitted and requested a paper hearing, was that he acted in a way which was improper and/or brought the game into disrepute in that the comment was posted on his Twitter account and included a reference to a person/s sexual orientation and/or disability.

Stupid.

He wouldn't have got fined if he called him straight, they make gay seem offensive.

You stupid prick. People don't call others straight to try and offend someone, but people do call others gay to try and offend.

If I called you a white man it isn't offensive, but if I call you a nigga it is and I'd rightly be in trouble for it.

Calling me a nigga wouldn't offend me whatsoever.

I should have said someone instead of you. Point still stands that one is used as an offensive term and one isn't. You're just thick.

The point is that Suso and Millions of other people use gay as a general term for "stupid, dumb, etc." (ex. Stop being so gay). That obviously is offensive to homosexuals, because it's basically implying that gays are "stupid, dumb, etc." Obviously Suso most people don't purposely intend to come off that way, it is still insensitive if nothing else.

Also in case anyone is wondering what the context is in. Suso posted a pic on twitter of Enrique getting his teeth whitened or something and said "What the fuck is this guy doing? He's so gay. He does everything but play football." Or something along the lines of that.

That's racist in itself. If i call you white it's okay but being black is bad!!!

but it's not the word but how it is used..... You can use white in a racist way.

Suso shouldn't of done it. Deserved it.

The final nail in the coffin was adding "he has mental problems" next to the "he is gay" part.

Enrique is gay though.

Enrique is a phaggot.

and a retard
