Actually, the saddest part of this story hasn't even been Luis Suarez but rather all the excusers and enablers who are preventing him from getting any help through denial.

I don't even count him outside of Napoli. ;)

He'd do better as a show of support by biting someone.

Yup. I'm not sure how they're gonna score other than Godin, but they're gonna make life tough for Colombia's attack.

They're just encouraging him...

More the debate over whether a murder should be subject to any more punishment than any other similar murder just because it was done under the auspices of racial hatred. It's the relativism vs. consistency issue. Some punishments are socially more severe than others not just because of the...

It's hate crimes all over again if that's the goal.

Moral relativism is a slippery slope. I understand why people attempt to do so, but we have to accept that the public is willing to tolerate a malicious elbow in the sport more than players biting other players. It's not so much a question of pain scale, disability, etc. Welcome to the world of...

It's not so much moral posturing. Throwing elbows is sometimes an act of creating defensive space in the game and it can be abused to do intentional harm, no question. But biting someone serves no real purpose... it's like jabbing your finger in someone's eye intentionally like the Three...

That's really pathetic. Talk about enablers. That's the big thing missing in all of this. He's a fantastic player, and he clearly needs mental help. He'll never get it when his nation defends his actions with denial like this. Chevanton :sergio: I used to think he was pretty cool. Clearly...

EDIT: Ah, crap. I forgot that Copa America auto-qualifies Uruguay. Ironically, the draw for the Copa America matches is exactly 4 months from tomorrow.

So this means any Copa America qualifiers I presume? :lol2: Word to that. I miss Monco :frown:

If I was his defense lawyer, I'd say he may as well kiss the WC goodbye. But he could see some mental counseling/anger management as part of a negotiated settlement and not see an impact at the club level. FIFA might be so cheesy as to state Suarez's international ban in months rather than...

:lol:

Messi's growth hormone injections must have added a whole 10cm since that photo was taken. Chiellini should be banned for shoving his shoulder into his mouth like that.

The Uruguay FA deserves to be punished too, IMO.
