Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani was sanctioned by the English Football Association in three games and fined £ 100,000 for using words on social media.
The Uruguayan thanked the congratulations of a fan with “Thank you, black boy.” The word “black” can be perceived as a derogatory expression about dark-skinned people, and for this Cavani is punished.
In addition to having to pay a fine equivalent to 1.15 million crowns, Cavani loses home games to Aston Villa (the series), Manchester City (league cup semi-finals) and Watford (FA cup) .

– Serious non-compliance
– A comment on the player’s Instagram account was insulting, derogatory, inappropriate and appropriate to discredit football, the association writes. It is added that there was a serious violation of the regulations because he used an expression that implied an allusion to skin color or ethnic origin.
Manchester United have defended the player and continue to do so.
Edinson Cavani was unaware that his vocabulary could be misinterpreted and has apologized to everyone who was raped. Despite his honest conviction that he only wrote a loving thank you for the congratulations of a friend, he chose not to dispute the accusation, out of respect and solidarity with the fight against racism, the club writes.
I want admission
– We note that the independent committee that resolved the case had to impose the minimum penalty in three games, but we hope that their justification will make it clear that Edinson Cavani is not a racist, and that there were no racist motives behind what he wrote.
The Instagram exchange for which Cavani is punished came after he delivered two goals and an assist in November, when Manchester United converted 0-2 in a 3-2 win over Southampton.
