Edinson Cavani celebrates his Manchester United goal against Everton
The Union of Players of Uruguay published an energetic statement denouncing the suspension of Edinson Cavani, the Manchester United striker, and accusing him of racism by the FA, highlighting that what happened was racism and lack of respect for Uruguayan culture.
The text of the statement carried by the “El Atlético” network is as follows:
“First of all, we would like to condemn the decision and behavior of the Football Association of England, in addition to condemning racism. The Football Association, in turn, has committed racism against the culture and way of life of the Uruguayan people “.
“This sanction shows the FA’s biased point of view, ignoring truth and ethnicity, allowing only a subjective interpretation of its own conclusion and excluding content and meaning, however flawed.”
“Edinson Cavani did not commit any behavior that condemned him as a racist. He used a common phrase in Latin America to address a close person with affection.”
“The idea that the FA explains that there is only one explanation in life for everything, which is what is in the minds of the leaders of the federation, is a truly discriminatory and absolutely reprehensible behavior, as it is against Uruguayan culture “.
“That is why we want to publicly defend the impeccable character of Edinson Cavani and of course the culture of our country.”
We are all opposed to any type of discrimination, but unfortunately, the Football Federation has expressed a total ignorance and contempt for the multicultural vision of the world, which respects multiculturalism, erroneously imposing its anti-racist norms on the one hand and strictly, which they are standards that we support on the basis of However, it is clear that they do not realistically apply to the case at hand here. “
“It does not punish an individual, but a whole culture, a way of life, and this means that the behavior of the FA is clearly and clearly discriminatory and racist.”
The Uruguayan Players Union asked the Football Association to review the decision, the process and the decision-making mechanism on Cavani’s punishment, adding that it wanted to “restore the player’s reputation and honor in the world that was seen unfairly tainted by this shameful decision. “
Manchester United striker Kavani was accused of racism by the Football Association and was suspended for 3 games.
In addition to the suspension, the Federation fined Cavani £ 100,000 and required him to undergo rehabilitation after violating section three of the FA laws.
This punishment comes in the context of a post by Cavani on her Instagram account on November 29, which the FA deemed a form of racism.
The FA said in its statement that the post was “insulting, offensive, indecent and disruptive to the game.”
The statement indicated that posting constitutes an explicit or implicit violation of FA laws that prohibit any reference to color or race.
