Media reporting inconsistencies?

Just curious to see what people thought in the difference of the two headlines (both relate to the actual charges filed against the two players).

Anyone know any reason why Terry was charged with only Abusive Language and not Racism?

Might be reading too much into it, but it seems at first glance that they are staying away from the "racism" word as we are talking about an English international who used to be captain. Protecting his image slightly perhaps?

Before I read it close enough I thought it was the paper not using the word racism because Terry was found not guilty and they could get in trouble, but it's actually them reporting on the charge that the FA filed.

So, is it literally the FA are essentially charging him with the same thing they charged Suarez with, without using the word Racism? Or is it a not as bad charge?

Hmm I assumed it was the paper at first, but on second reading you seem to be right. Thats incredible. Yet another signal of the sheer incompetence of the FA.

It also amuses me that they just have a stock quote for this too. Both are identical!
