Has Patrice Evra Forgiven Suarez?

"You don't have to call me by my colour. My mum gave me a name"
Immortal choice of words from Pat.

I'm a Liverpool fan but Evra has every right to never forgive the club over the t shirt fiasco, it was an embarrassing thing to do.

A very matured guy, Patrice. I am glad my badge rested on his chest. I love him

the fact that his best friends on Man U was a korean and an argentine.. tells me he is a total angel. Patrice is a great player but an even better human being!

I love Patrice. What a good dude. Also, my favorite outside back ever. What a guy and what a player

Never loved a person I've never met like I love Patrice Evra.
What a guy.
Gives me faith in humanity. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

The embarrassment as a Liverpool fan through and through as to how poorly the club handled this matter still hits today. Even if they sent a letter of apology years later, it doesn’t paper the cracks of a lack of decisive action at the time.

Patrice you're the Man... agree 100%, before anyone was a Christian, a Buddhist, Jewish, Moslem, they were first a human being... So being a good person is being the best human being.. salaaam Patrice..

Patrice is one of the best and most uplifting characters in sport. Patrice is in a better place than me as I’m not sure that particular person is worthy of the blessing of forgiveness based on other incidents he has been involved in.

Massive respect to him

What a great man. An amazing human. One of the best player in his post. And what a funny and smart man also !

Evra is the true legend

Patrice Evra is a top man and a great guy

Great interview

What a legend!!

I'm south american and indeed we say "negro" or "negrito" not in an offensive way, just in a friendly way... having said this, I wasn't aware that Suarez told Patrice Evra " I don't speak with a negrito" obviously in such context, the word "negrito" was used in a racist manner. Patrice Evra sounds like a very nice man. He should write a book because I can tell that he is a wise man. God bless him.

Absolute quality guy

Respect 🙌 🤲 🙏 Pat , you the man 🎉

How can you not love this man forza evra forza juve!!!!!

Evra. You're a fucking legend mate.

Patrice You are legend Bro!

This is a great man!

Beautiful Patrice! Absolutely beautiful! Especially his outlook on religion. Be the best human you can & let God almighty be the judge when we do meet him.
Racism is truly thought at home from the early stages. I remember watching an interview of Frank Lampard with his amazing daughters while he was at the MLS. His daughters refer to Drogba as uncle Drogba, that just gives me an insight on how properly raised they were & the prevailing home environment they grew up in.

What a mature man he is

Fucking love this guyyy!!!!

Forgiveness is a beautiful thing. U may not forget or receive an apology but can choose to forgive .
Forgiveness is a liberating thing and benefits the forgiver :)
u know u have forgiven when u can pray a prayer of blessing over the person who offended u

Hes A good lad ! Cheers from Sweden

Credit to you Patrice son, very mature good intended man, Suarez has to live with that for rest of his life, sad individual!

Honestly I respected Opinions of Patrice so clear and also you cannot blame whole people for the actions of one

What a left back he was for Utd.. and a lovley funny man too ❤️❤️

Suarez saying what he did never shocked me. The suarez tshirts by Liverpool is what I couldnt believe.

❤ Patrice man

i love this game

i love how he just listen with interest and doesn’t cut in.
ps i had no clue this actually happened and i’ve lost all respect for Suarez

I hated this guy as a ManU player, but I love him as a brother in humanity.

Luis Suarez is was one of the greatest players to ever play the game, that cannot be argued, he could be in the GOAT conversation if not for Messi/Ronaldo. That being said, it's disgusting to me how much he got away with during his career. There were other incidents of racist/xenophobic comments and unsportsmanlike behaviour. But in this instance alone, he even got support from Liverpool fans! And all that because Pat chose to be the bigger man... Imagine if he attacked Suarez or stormed out, he would've gotten much more sympathy, there'd be people kneeling down every game and FIFA making more bs commercials, but Pat thought about his teammates and the fans first, dealt with it like a real man and instead he got even more abuse... After all this, he didn't go after the referee, fans or even Suarez. My respect for Patrice Evra has gone up massively after this interview. Both haters and virtue signalers could learn how to be a genuine human from this man. God bless.

i thought Evra was stupid, eating grass and all. but actually hearing him out, even as a Liverpool fan, I'll say that he seems like a standout chap. Great head on his shoulders. actual role model.

Negrito is actually a term of endearment towards a black friend in Latin America. However, saying he doesn’t speak to negritos is different.

The biggest thing to come out of all this that nobody ever mentions is that Kenny Daglish was knighted after this

I respect Patrice Evra so much

Very wise person

One thing we learned about Suarez in his Prime he was a very emotional player he literally fought hand and tooth to win a game!

I love Patrice even I am arsenal fan

Love Evra

Big up David De Gea👏🏽

Top bloke

Lucky Suarez didn’t bite him

Class act

U r an angle bro with big heart

To preface, I also speak Spanish and although it is meant as a term of endearment like Güero or Gordo for example it is only endearing if the two people know and respect each other to some extent. In this case it is totally unacceptable imo because they are on opposite sides of a fierce rivalry and the insult was clearly meant to get under his skin. It would have not been an issue if Suárez would have called him a cabrón for example as the insult is not specifically mentioning his race, we all should know how much black people have had to suffer historically. Respect Patrice, you handled yourself like an exemplary gentleman in the heat of the moment while you were full of adrenaline; can’t say I would have done the same.

Patrice has about 26 brothers and sisters. Really. I saw him interviewed and he said it himself.

You cant send him off because evra said he said something thats not how football works. The ref said that this will he will have investigation after which is the right course of action otherwise anyone can say you said something and get sent off. Im an arsenal fan but i love evra he a great character. Hes right even negro there is NO way you call someone by the colour the persons skin. Also the whole liverpool team were bang out of order.

Patrice meet people all over the world, and that's why he respects all religions beliefs, and that's not surprised me when he said he respect Islam, in the national team he meet so many muslim players, is his father didn't know that?

As a club we let ourselves down the day the players wore the tshirts. He was our best player, we were desperate for him to stay at the club so the club defended the indefensible.

The word itself can be used as a form of affection in South America but as with most words, it's about context. "I don't speak with blacks" is not a term of affection, it's a racist remark. Pure and simple.
Now, you can argue it was in the heat of the moment and it was a one off, everyone says things they don't mean when the adrenaline is pumping in which case you be a man. You apologise, accept the punishment and move on. But what Dalglish and Liverpool did afterwards was disgraceful. Liverpool themselves and a few of the players have since apologised, I don't know if Dalglish did (though I doubt it) but at the time they needlessly inflamed the situation. Then there's Suarez himself. Evra put his hand out and Suarez refused to take it, as if Suarez was the victim. He wasn't. He was the perpetrator.
As good as Suarez is as a player, he's also acted like a scumbag more than once. While I understand fans trying to defend their players, some things are indefensible.

His story about his dad I had same with my family members. Taking the piss with racist comments and i just thought they were immature and not funny we were only 11/9 years old. me and my sister went mad and all time they would do it to wind me and my sister up knowing it bothered us. Both our best mates were muslims and we grew up together and ended up living next door to us. He is exactly right on how to tackle racism. No one is born a racist we our only a product of our enviroment and the only way to understand is be willing to not be a sheep and think for yourself. Unfortunately there is still a small percentage of people who are racist. They are normally the sheep watching commercial tv and dumb as fuck. Evra is a legend and I love his views as they are exactly what I think. I also wish everyone could live a basic life with all the essentials i think its an absolute disgrace thay people are still dieing of hunger and living conditions. How can we not solve these issues still we are failing as humans. One last thing I hate people who go its our country go back to where you came from. You were just lucky to be born with the foundations laid out for you its no ones land and i hate that mentality. Im born in UK and if we can offer a better life to someone who trying to do the best for there kids i hope we can help. Yes there isnt limitless spaces. But we can solve alot if we tackle what is the problems in the countries they are coming from and other countries help with solving the issues.

Who was the ref? He should have been dealt with too

Suarez was also bitting players 😂😂😂😂😂

Nergito is not a racist remark but sayin I don’t speak with nergitos is racist

6:26 this is how a real man thinks

Just forgive and forget no matter the situations

Patrice is full of it still. Referring to negrito as the N word is just misleading people still after all these years

Kenny dalglish not kevin lol and no he wasn't sacked a month after the t shirt thing. He was in the summer of 2012 after winning the league cup.

Something I've noticed about evra is he doesn't believe in friendship he believes in brotherhood.

Solution:
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
John 3:16 ¶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

whingerpool denied it, supported a player proved to have used racist abuse, that halfwit dalglish defended it and their vile fans posted videos trying to defend it. The self-pitying depths of that club know no bounds.

Who's Kevin daglish

what's that host's voice bruh 😭😭😭

Mi negro or negraso en Colombia is a friendly way to address a melanated man is used to strike a conversation and make a connection

Bro sound like that angry guy in the breakfast club show

Why aren't they interviewing Suarez to see if he's really sorry.

Not a Man u fan, not a Liverpool fan. Evra still going on about this and lying in the process. Go watch the handshake video, Evra clearly keeps his hand by his side and then raises it after Suarez has passed to try give the impression he was willing to shake hands. So apparently Evra admits he said your mothers c*** to Suarez, typical football Derby behaviour, trying to provoke a reaction, Suarez responds with his own remark, should he have hit Evra for talking about his mother instead, the response from Suarez tells that Evras attempt to wind him up failed and he had a more hurtful comeback instead. Suarez was well known for his volatile temperament and the United players would likely have been instructed to prey on it, it comes with the territory of a Liverpool United Derby, not that long ago we were hearing fans singing songs celebrating the tragedies of football clubs such as the death of players and fans in Munich and Hillsborough. All of this is blown out of proportion. Before VAR these players would lie and cheat to win a throw in, nevermind a game. It's called win at all costs for a reason. If you can't take it then don't give it and don't cry foul when you're own attempts to upset someone fails. Evra is a terrible pundit but he is dying to be recognised as one, he'll fall back on this whenever he can to get a sympathy vote and airtime.

0:18 it’s not really offensive if it’s not used in an offensive way it could just be used in like a friendly matter usually to someone you know though obviously Suarez meant it in an offensive way

Suarez the GOAT !!!!

i remember from that day i started hating suarez

Despite being a French guy, Patrice's English is quite well. Going back to the incident between Evra and Suarez, I think that he forgave Suarez because, everything is part of the past. Besides, Patrice like Luis Suarez, doesn't want anybody to talk about that anymore.

Evra never play soccer in South America, there, sometimes the fans drop you urine with the plastic cups if you are the goalie or close to the fence, receiving a bad word is almost like a compliment for south american players, in europe they are delicate girls insted of soccer players, two diferent cultures.
Later in one occasion after that incident, he did not shake Suarez hand in greetings before a game and accused Suarez of being the one who did not want to greet, that was mean.
And in the end of a game he was shaking his arms celebrating in front of Suarez almost hitting him to provoke him and at the same time incite the entire stadium, very bad attitude.

At the time i thought suarez was a racist prick but watching this actually makes me think Evra made it bigger than what it was, cause he said he called him negrito and then went to the ref and said did you hear he called me the N word? And negrito is not the same, just makes me think that Evra doesn't understand the meaning of the word at all, and he is a bit famous for lying and telling untrue and "crazy" things so i'm starting to doubt him.

I will never respect Liverpool as a club and this is not because I am a United fan. But to me, someone who has never been in Europe it gives the vibe that they didn’t care about what happened. And then wearing shirts with a picture of him…nah bro. If you supported him in public then apologise public.

I'm from Latin America. What u guys have to understand it's the history of our territories and the process of colonization. That implied the extermination, genocide of native and bringing of slaves from the African diaspora. That happens not so long time ago. Due to the specific circumstances of that process in Argentina and Uruguay those countries are considered to have the racisms intrinsic in their culture. That is why you will find people from those countries justifying it because "that's how they are in their country" and "that's how they speak in their country" which does not exempt them from their responsibility and ignorance. You can be racist even if you don't know it or don't want to.

You know he's from the streets cos his first through was to punch him in the face😅

If Evra was American, Suarez wouldn't have a jaw right now

Patrice is a big baby. Negrito isn’t a racist remark in South America. I’m pretty sure Cavani who was playing for Man U at the the time called Rashford the same thing on Instagram. They were teammates.

Mr Evra said : "Don't touch me, South American" crazy double standards.There's actually no real evidence of what he is saying.

That’s y Suarez turned into dog started biting 😂😂

Negrito isn’t racist in Latin culture
But “I don’t speak to negritos” is racist and disgusting
Liverpool are shocking for backing him

When we talk about racism we use our soft voices.

Negrito is not a derogatory word in Uruguay, Argentina, Chile all the countries south of South America use this word like “dude” you call white people negrito I’ve seen a store attendant call an Asian tourist negrito. Patrice doesn’t understand the cultural complexities of the word.
Negrito is NOT THE N word. I repeat it is not the N word. Patrice repeating this narrative nearly 10 years later is sickening that he has never taken the time to learn this.
The best way to put it is, If I went to a bar and ordered a negroni Patrice evra would call me racist. That’s literally what this is like.

Suarez is a c u next tuesday.

Liverpool fans can't accept that Suarez intentionally made a racist gesture against Evra. Liverpool FC has recently acknowledged that even apologized for that incident. If you actually lived in Liverpool, you will know that they are the most racist people in England

In the more Latin speaking countries, particularly the Americas
The N word is much more loosely use as opposed to the US where a white man has to look both ways before even saying it with a friends (Who happens to be black)

Suares was saved by he's family

When you get paid millions, you owe the world every ounce of respect or you should not be a part of our game

Cant criticise the ref. It was an alleghstion not a proven fact at that point.

I respect him now even more. He is right be respectfull to others always and always stay small and humble if you stay small and humble you always will have respect and love for others. You get arrogant you follow the devil because he said ones against god why must i make a bow down for Adam i am better than him i am from smokeles fire he is from clay so i am better than him. Muslim/a means someone who submitting his or her will to the almighty creator of earth and the 7 heavens. If you submit your will to the almighty creator you get and choose peace therefor islam means also peace.

I notice all the high and mighty Utd fans on theor pedestals have conveniently forgotten about Edison Cavani doing the exact same thing whilst wearing a utd shirt!!
Remember, before trying to defend Cavani by using "context" , context means nothing when it comes to racism, that was the whole argument you all had back then!

Negrito is not an offensive word, evra is complete wrong here

Different culture different word they said it! Suarez is from Uruguay

More like has Luis Suarez forgiven Evra - no mention of him allegedly calling Suarez a “sudaca,” an ethnic slur
