So, I just had to get this out somewhere. No one is arguing that what Luis Suarez did to day wasn't wrong. It obviously was. The problem I have is it will most definitely and really already has been blown out of proportion. Biting is a form of violent conduct, and it should be punished the same as punching, kicking, stamping, head butting, or any other physical attack. It is not worse, because it's biting. I'm not really sure how people construe it this way. Not everyone thinks to bite as an attack, just like not everyone thinks to head butt or elbow. It's an odd choice of attack in my opinion too, but it shouldn't be deemed worse.
I'm reading things that people are saying he should be thrown out of Liverpool FC and removed from the PFA Shortlist for this. That is absolute madness. There have been other players nominated for the award and punished for violent conduct in the same season. Removing Suarez from the PFA Shortlist will just be more proof of a double standard in England. He will be punished, and he will serve his ban. That will be the end of it.
Ok, so it's really your choice whether you like him or not, but there is one thing for sure. Luis Suarez is like the perfect evil genius in football. The headlines will be dominated with stories of the biting incident, but he also scored and assisted goals today. He was once again Liverpool's best player, and he was probably the best player on the pitch. Along with that genius ability, he has moments of madness like the handball and the biting incident. Now, we look through the history of the all time greats, and that is something many of them had. Maradona was very well known for poor behavior throughout his career. Overall, I like him. He plays a style of football which I really love. I don't approve of the behavior he demonstrated today, but overall, he's great.
