Third biting incident a year removed from a lengthy ban for racism? Yeah, okay, "overly competitive."

No, you see, when a football player is good enough, they start getting funny, but natural, urges. Urges that tell them to mark their dominance over other players by sinking their teeth into their flesh.

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

Ahem.

First time I heard of it. Than again, I can't say I follow English football on account of not really finding any of the teams to be any good compared to the rest of us on the continent. And I definitively do not read English newspaper talking about English football. So that's probably the reason why I've not heard of it.

EDIT: This said. The article seems to describe the thing as having been a misunderstanding which I find believable.

Suarez bit an opposing player.

Again.



How is it that a player can bite an opponent on multiple occasions, and still be allowed to play? Football punishments are pathetic. If you go up and bite some stranger on the street, it's common assault at the very least. It shouldn't be miss a couple of games the first time, miss a few more games the next time, maybe pay a pocket money fine, etc, it should be 5 year ban, life ban, etc, and if you're actually leaving bite marks in people, maybe you should fucking go to jail.

Well yes, there are ways that a white person can be racist against other white people. I guess... :?:
