#3 Racism

Luis Suarez, Liverpool
Suarez racially abused Patrice Evra in Spanish

Suarez is a man of many talents. Deciding that biting, diving and offensive gestures were not sufficient on his CV, the Uruguayan decided to add racism to that list. This time in a Premier League game against Manchester United, the ex-Liverpool striker racially abused United left-back Patrice Evra.

The Uruguayan went on a rant in Spanish directed at the Frenchman and repeated a particular offensive world as many as 10 times. Despite proclaiming his innocence, he was handed an 8 game suspension.

The controversy didn’t end there, though. In a subsequent fixture against the Red Devils, Suarez refused to shake Evra’s hand during the pre-match ritual, adding more fuel to an already raging fire.
