A good read from Paul Tomkins They, as outsiders, will pounce on his misfortune, or get outraged about something that they want to see punished (partly for the thrill of watching something kicking off at a safe distance, like a fight in the corner of a pub; partly because they want to see anyone who could do well against their team banned for as long as possible, perhaps even deported). (Yes..... those who laugh and cursed Suarez.. belongs to this category.) Luis Suarez bit someone, which is wrong. But he didn’t maim them, or rape them, or kill them. No-one was seriously hurt, or was ever going to get seriously hurt. You shouldn’t bite someone on a football pitch. But one football pundit – Danny Mills – said that Suarez deserves locking up for life. Even the sickest criminals rarely get such a sentence. (And i remembered one fellow actually said he shouldnt play football anymore)
