I hate his guts. But realistically speaking, I think he's getting due measure (for fifa's standards). To be taken out for 4 months hurts a player- a lot! That's a whole lot of games missed. So, I guess to them that's a good punishment? Like I said: I think he's an asshole for so many MORE reasons than this anyway.</p> <p>@autumnlove: hahahaha I know. They defended Suarez. Wth? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game/page/2#post-1727035 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 11:17:50 +0000 autumnlove 1727035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I love his teammate who wanted Chiellini to cover up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game/page/2#post-1726996 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 11:01:09 +0000 looch 1726996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am glad they did something, in this case, I feel like it's better than nothing.</p> <p>I just find it hilarious that Suarez was feigning a mouth injury. Maybe he should look for an acting job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game/page/2#post-1726904 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 10:36:49 +0000 littlek 1726904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: what do you think?

So..more than $100,000 USD! He deserves it. And 4 months is missing ALOT because he does play for the Liverpool club and they have finals this summer. Oh well, buddy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game/page/2#post-1723556 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 11:58:43 +0000 pui 1723556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Good.

Basically, what it comes down to is this: he is a GREAT soccer player (one of the best in the world), but a TERRIBLE human being. From racist remarks (spitting in the face of black players), an intentional handball that got him ejected from the last world cup, to his 3 biting incidents.....I think FIFA should (and I think probably will due to the immense amount of pressure and press surrounding the bite). I think that Uruguay, no matter how talented of a player he is, should not allow him to play on the team. He is giving the whole team a bad reputation, and they have some immensely talented players--players who manage to stay classy, and play hard.</p> <p>And, just for fun: </p> [attach=2770/14/n7qyn6.600x291.Luis-Suarez4.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game#post-1721819 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 18:01:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1721819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: @pui: so basically they're saying - through action- that if you're good enough- really good, you can break the rules because they can't afford to lose you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game#post-1721800 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 17:46:05 +0000 pui 1721800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not surprised that nothing will be done. Like @CupQuakeWalk has said, FIFA wants to keep him in the game. </p> <p>It's so disturbing though, especially since the bite looks like it had nothing to do with the game. Hockey is a violent sport, but usually the blows to players are caused by conflicts in the game. This is like he just decided to bite someone. Like what the heck?</p> <p>Nevermind the game, I think he should be charged with assault. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game#post-1721791 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 17:42:51 +0000 coopsmama 1721791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: Oh!!!

Professional soccer is so whacked these days. If they just let these guys have a little body contact rather than reward the divers, maybe it wouldn't go to these lengths. This is coming from someone who played competitive soccer and loves the game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game#post-1721706 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 16:39:33 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1721706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: I was agreeing with you:) I meant, it's so ba that we can't even give him the benefit of doubt if we wanted to :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game#post-1721670 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 16:19:08 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1721670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He should definitely be suspended. I think FIFA should go for a maximum punishment since this is his third offense. The forage is ridiculous. I love how he blatantly bites him and then grabs his teeth like he is hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game#post-1721625 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 15:53:28 +0000 littlek 1721625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: Oh, I 100% agree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game#post-1721617 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 15:51:11 +0000 LBee 1721617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: @littlek: Even if it is in the heat of the moment, it's still not right. If I bit someone during a stressful work meeting, I don't think anyone would be questioning that I should be fired. It's socially unacceptable above the young child age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game#post-1721611 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 15:48:48 +0000 coopsmama 1721611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: ahaha love it!

I wasn't excusing this particular bite...I was more referencing the fact that someone posted above that this is not his first time biting someone which is just crazy to me! I just find that appalling and your post makes me find it even more so. He needs to grow up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game#post-1721602 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 15:46:51 +0000 littlek 1721602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: It's crazy. Most of the bites occur when play is stopped. The man has serious issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game#post-1721600 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 15:45:56 +0000 looch 1721600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: they are known to be corrupt.

I can't even say for certain that this was a "heat of the moment" type thing. It is almost like the guy just comes out of nowhere. It's not like the bit the guy WITH the ball, either. He just...bites. I couldn't give any guess as to why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game#post-1721593 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 15:43:49 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1721593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: FIFA is as much of a joke as any other athletic foundation. At the end of the day, they paid big bucks for this guy. They want him to play, sometimes despite his behavior unfortunately. It's all about the $$ to the team owners, as is true of any team owner of any sport. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game#post-1721592 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 15:43:39 +0000 coopsmama 1721592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Taco: :silly: </p> <p>This guy deserves a suspension. Unbelievable. I understand things happen in the heat of the moment but to continue happening more than once? That's just childish and embarrassing to his team, his country, and himself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/player-bites-another-player-during-world-cup-game#post-1721581 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 15:38:27 +0000 looch 1721581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: well, in fairness, FIFA is a complete joke. </p>
