Edinson Cavani not intentionally racist in social media post, but term was offensive, says FA


Edinson Cavani joined Manchester United on a free transfer in OctoberEdinson Cavani was not intentionally racist in the Instagram post that brought him a three-match suspension, the Football Association says. Manchester United striker Cavani, 33, was fined £100,000 and banned for a post containing a Spanish word that is offensive in some contexts. Manchester United have backed their player and the judgement underlines the Uruguayan is not a racist and meant no racist intent. The interesting thing is the comment about social media training, specifically the absence of it. Would the media training have covered the type of danger that led to Cavani's ban?
