Jamie Carragher Apologises to Patrice Evra for Supporting Luis Suárez in 2011 Racism Row

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has publicly apologised to Patrice Evra for the Reds' decision to support teammate Luis Suárez during the racism controversy in 2011.

Suárez was found to have racially abused Evra during a meeting between Liverpool and Manchester United in 2011, and the Reds responded by wearing t-shirts supporting Suárez during the warm-up for their next game against Wigan Athletic.

Both Carragher and Evra were pundits on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, and Carragher took the opportunity to apologise to the Frenchman and question where the decision to wear the shirts actually came from in the first place.
