Can one get banned for non racial abuse? ie if someone was constantly calling another player a c**t, f**khead, w**ker etc for the duration of a game would he get banned for 8 matches?Im not in anyway condoning racism or anything like that but this whole situation reminds me of a south park episode where the boys were learning about hate crimes and were confused as they thought that any crime was done with hate. What im trying to say is that now that the FA have banned Suarez for 8 matches should they not ban any player they find to be abusing another player in any way, racist or otherwise. Abuse is still abuse.
According to their own laws, (E1, 2 something like that) yes they can. But they don't.
