Bentancur banned for 7 games for a racial slur about his teammate, Son Heungmin. Strongly suggest you don't read the comments ("you can't say anything these days" pretty much covers it).

Spurs have appealed it, so racism towards Son is to be deplored as they have done on many occasions unless it's done by one of your players. Football constantly let's itself down on issues which are important unless they damage your team.

They've appealed the length of the ban, not the judgement.

And that makes a difference? how? It was only a little bit racist so don't punish him too much? It stinks

If you got fined £100k for speeding at 33 in a 30 you wouldn't appeal the punishment?

I think it's ok to admit wrongdoing but still want a fair punishment. I've no idea what the standard punishment is for this sort of thing but I'm sure Spurs have looked at it before deciding to appeal it.

spurs also apparently have taken no internal action on the comments he made.
