People
must stop comparing the John Terry and Wayne Bridge case with the Luis Suarez
and Patrice Evra case. Bridge and Terry had a personal altercation something
which occurred off the pitch and at the end of the day it was the victim (Bridge)
who refused to shake the accused (Terry) hands.
Suarez
admitted and was found guilty and served his time… everything after could of
been avoided with the handshake. Suarez and Evra incident occurred on the pitch
and the handshake meant more than the two players settling grudges it
represented both clubs and the league.
If
they shook hands and still hated each other it wouldn’t matter as the message
that would be sent is there is no racism within the English Premier League and
even more no racism within the club and that alone should have been enough for
the handshake to take place.
If
they argued in a club in the middle of the night there wouldn’t be such a big
issue but it happen on the field and that’s why they should have tried to save
the face of the league.
I
think both parties apologising at this time just seem stupid as this could have
been settled the day of the accusation. Now things as blown out of proportion
and the damage is already done.
