UEFA opens disciplinary case against Busquets

[sukha4.livejournal.com]

 UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against FC Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets, who is alleged to have violated Article 11 bis of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations by directing racist abuse towards a Real Madrid CF player in the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg between the clubs on 27 April.

The proceedings have been launched on the basis of evidence provided by Real Madrid (video and statement of club and player). The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body will deal with the case on Sunday 15 May and the decision will be communicated to the club on Monday 16 May.

I'm just glad they finally decided to do something about it. What do you think the outcome will be?

I'm glad UEFA is finally going to do something about this.

Also it feels like I'm the only one here in this post who's not a RM fan.

I support Barca in la liga but this is so much bigger than club rivalry.

Thank You for getting that this is so beyond club rivalry, when so many don't. Thank You.

not surprised, tbh.

There are a handful of Barca supporters who are commenting with their disgust (look below) But I think most are embarrassed by his actions and the clubs follow up, yet don't want to comment here on _fb, which they think is as much ~anti-Barca as Real Madrid is ~anti-football.

And a few are still trying to defend Busquets, for whatever reason.

I can't say that's the impression I've gotten of most Barca fans. Many of them I've talked to have all been very lovely and have all condemned what Busquets' said.

.....did you not see where I said most are embarrassed by his actions and the club's follow up?

I'm sorry, I honestly completely misread that. I should have my computer taken away from me when I'm tired. I apologize.

[sashaj22.livejournal.com]

Oh, thanks for apologizing! I had to re-read my comment to make sure I didn't say anything I didn't mean! XDDD

lol xD but back to the original topic; I'm glad most Cules agree with the rest of us that what Sergio did is wrong. And those who don't agree...well there's not much we can do about them -__-'

I'm a cule and I'm glad something's being done. Either you're against racism or you're not. We don't get to pick and choose which racist acts we condemn, based on convenience and club loyalty.
