Its quite incredible that anybody is defending him regardless of collectivism and social norms. In Canada the national news discussed it and they don't give a tit about football. They talked about it as a globally recognized situation that transcended the realm of sport. For an athlete to bite three different people is totally astounding. When Tyson bit Evander Holyfield it was a remarkable, extraordinary, unbelievable situation that nobody thought they'd ever see in sport. Now a man has done it three times and Liverpudlians, Uruguayans, and other assorted assheads are defending him, saying his ban is too harsh, the evidence has been misrepresented, and the media and FIFA have an agenda. Its totally incredible stuff. For me, the ban is about half the length it should be.
People get hot-headed in sports, and sometimes they head butt and push and kick and stomp. That is a natural reaction when you're in what you believe is a situation of duress. I don't know anybody, or know of anybody, who would instinctively bite someone in that situation. In fact, Suarez wasn't even in duress in the Ivanovic situation or the Chiellini situation. The players were merely playing the game, and he decided the correct thing to do was to chew on these defenders flesh. It takes a totally sick person to feel the necessity to commit that kind of action towards someone that hasn't even deserved any sort of confrontation, let alone a primal, feral thing like biting someone.
