That's my point. Had it been Hibbert, it would probably have gone unnoticed.
Nope, I'm not on a wind up, and to make it clear, I am not defending Suarez.
A headbutt can kill you, and a poke in the eye blind you. A leg breaking tackle can end your career. If a bite on the arm is more serious, then I'm at a loss.
What Suarez did was probably more nasty, than dangerous, in an animalistic kind of way. Just as spitting on somebody would probably make bigger news. We live in a world where racially abusing somebody carries a heavier penalty than snapping their leg. I'm not looking to debate which is more dislikeable, but simply stating it as fact.
It's not a wind up. Just the observation of a mature adult who looks at the offense for what it is, and doesn't cloud it's value by taking other events into consideration.
Yes, the guy is constantly the centre of controversy, but looking at the evidence, is it really as ferocious an assault as people are making out? It's not like he took a chunk out of the guys arm.
Headbutt me, snap my leg, or bite my arm with similar force, and see which will hurt me the most. Somehow, I think I'd take the bite.
