Which would you rather have, a bite on the shoulder that doesn't break the skin or being challenged in this manner? That's not a defense of Suarez, obviously he deserves a ban, I'm pointing out that sometimes it's difficult to actually determine what is worse. You have dangerous or wreckless tackles all of the time. Suarez brought the game into disrepute though with such actions.
Joey Barton plays devil's advocate on Luis Suarez's bite in Uruguay vs. Italy
I wish Italy had gone through and were playing Colombia but without their players who received their 2nd yellow card and thus, would have been suspended from the math, Balotelli and Marchisio.
