Yes. It is definitely $&$@ed up! Even more bizarre is that they compare a vicious attack on a child to what Suarez did. :sergio:

I'm not even an Italy fan. I'm Canadian. I'll cheer for them on occasion, but I could really care less who wins the WC. I just want to see a good WC, with good matches. If a Juventus player had just bitten a player for the third time (possibly 8th), I'd be calling for his head too. Suarez, if...

Professor X on Suarez! “I think he’s very lucky. He’s clearly someone in trouble and you’ve got to feel bad for anybody who’s in so much trouble. But what has been especially disappointing is the reactions of the other Uruguayans [players]. And the nation, in fact, from the President down, who...

SO, Lugano has now called the ban "barbaric" and a "breach of his human rights"... Apparently not even a criminal would be treated this poorly. No, a criminal would be put in prison. Lugano is the most pathetic person in all of this. He should be banned as well. Cavani actually reacted with...

http://www.football-italia.net/51302/report-suarez-bit-eight-players If this is actually true, and it's 8 times now... :sergio: This idiot needs a lifetime ban, and does certainly belong in a psych ward.

Punching is not allowed. Players get suspended for it. Two Roma players were suspended just this season for punching. And regardless of the reasoning behind behavioural clauses, they are there, and they are appropriate. These guys are looked up to by millions of children, who want to be just...

They get paid millions to play a game. Part of that contract is for acting as a role model for the millions of children that look up to them and want to be just like them. I'm sorry, but if they do not want to be held to a higher standard than the average folk, than find a different career that...

You're cheering for the USA? You are so not a Canadian... :sergio:

"I lost my balance.." :sergio: What a useless human being.

Where ya been, Lion? 4 month ban is for Club as well. And from what I gather the 9 matches doesn't include friendlies so he will miss Copa America. Liverpool has 13 or so matches he will miss.

Tabarez's speech today was absolutely pathetic. :sergio: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/10931746/World-Cup-2014-Uruguay-manager-Oscar-Tabarez-launches-impassioned-attack-on-Fifa-over-Luis-Suarez-ban.html The sad part is that even if he had only been banned for the...

:tup:

It certainly is. The problem is that FIFA only really reacts like this when the media creates a storm of negative press. I agree with the ban length, but disagree with FIFAs motives behind it. They're terrified of the negative press that a lighter ban would cause for them. I suppose they have to...

But FIFA is the sport's governing body and sanctions club competition as well. So it is only right that they would view this as his third incident with biting and 4th major suspension... The precedent thing works to a degree, but biting is virgin ground. It just has not been done before and...

:tup: Good point.

I think, by myself included, X's posts are being misinterpreted as defending Suarez's actions. It seems more so that you're trying to suggest there is something flawed with the value system of FIFA if they consider this worse than intentional violent behaviour on the pitch that can (and in the...

Sorry. I edited my post while you were responding I believe. I think the current way of dealing with intentional violence on the pitch of that sort is poor. Such intentionally violent acts should have first time suspensions of 10+ matches, second time in the range of 6 months, and third time 1-2...

In Hockey you can drop the gloves and fight (which I personally think is idiotic and a barbaric relic of the past), but can't skate up behind someone and punch them in the back of the head. You do that and it might be a 40 game suspension. Certain things are just not a part of sport. Spitting...

Well, they could bring him home to play in the Uruguayan leagues. They seem to think it's an English vendetta against him, but he was banned in the Dutch league also, and now by FIFA, and if he thinks La Liga won't ban him for an epic amount of time for such behaviour, well, delusion has its...
