Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has called “outstanding person” Rodrigo Bentancur an “unbelievable team-mate” and supported Spurs’ decision to appeal the length of his seven-match suspension for a racist remark about captain Heung-Min Son.
Bentancur has been sanctioned over comments he made in an interview aired on Uruguayan TV in June.
The 27-year-old was also fined £100,000 by the Football Association as part of the punishment.

In football if your good enough you can be as racist as you want. Chealsea giving Enzo a slight tap on the wrist. Ange appealing ban on benancur…
I was watching Korean drama yesterday and I thought I saw son's multiple twins
Ban Sonny
He was joking about all Asians looking the same. We need to stop being so soft. He probably jokes with son about silly Stereotype
More worries about Bentancur than millions of people he insulted. Typical British media
As a spurs fan he still needs a ban dont be racist towards your own teammate
How could he be banned for Spurs when he was away with Uruguay? Surely it should be an international ban, not domestic. And the length of the ban shows how pathetic the fa are. Dictatorship
Total disorganized in team. Should solve that within them
It is important to raise cultural & racial awareness. Having said that, he sincerely apologized & Sonny accepted. As silly & wrong as it was, clearly no malice. When i sense no blarant racist intent, i prefer education, rather than harsh punishment.
I mean he’s not wrong is he!
7-0 city
😊
Enzo Fernandes was worse! UEFA has just given warning to turkish player Aral Simsir from danish side Midtjylland who shouted “free Palenstine” and “i hope you die” to opponents from Israelian side Mac Hafia.
He got a warning for sonething much worse than Bentancur who made a bad joke
As a spurs fan I support the ban. No room for racism in football
It's disgusting how spurs have dealt with this. They should've came out immediately and said Bentencur made a mistake and we will be educating him in the error of his ways. His actions do not reflect the opinions of the club and we apologise to anyone that was offended.
They then fine the player giving all proceeds to fight racism charities and accept any punishment that was given.
You do not argue a ban when your captain was abused and that abuse was directed to the fanbase that Son brings to spurs.
If we are punishing him we need to be punishing Enzo Fernandes. His actions were derogatory wereas this was a joke is poor taste no hint of malice in this at all. What a double standard😢
What a world. Suarez can bite an ear an get less ban. This is freedom of speech in 2024
If someone said, "all white people are the same" , no footballer would be given a ban.
He didn't "use a racial slur". But hey, why worry about accurate journalism when you aren't a journalist.
We should all just move on. Every human being looks the same initially but gradually, you will notice the difference. I don't know how this whole "Asians look the same" even began.
This is a really shocking interview
The victim of racism is your team captain
Bentancur was banned by FIFA for violence while playing for the national team
Racist Bentancur has a good personality??
Disgusting manager
