| Suarez bites Iva. Inset: Mike Tyson bite Holyfield |
It is often said that when a Dog bites a man, it is
no news but when a man bites a Dog, it becomes news worthy. What about the
incidence that took the shine of the match between Liverpool and Chelsea where Luis
Suarez bit Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic? What do you call that?
The match played at Anfield, Liverpool home
ground on sunday ended 2-2 saw Suarez playing the Hero and the Villain at the same time.
He helped his team picked that draw at home, his effort cannot be
over-emphasized.
Known for controversy, several bans for different
reasons and the latest is the biting incidence. Not new to Suarez though ‘cos
he has once marched the mud before in November 2010 while at Ajax, he was
suspended seven games after biting PSV Eindhoven’s Ottman Bakkal during a dutch
league game.
May be Suarez needs to be told the Mike Tyson
story. Without much ado, Tyson after the infamous fight nicknamed the ‘Bite-fight’
with Evander Holyfield lost so much even getting suspended permanently from
boxing but after a year of sorrow and appeal, he got his license back to fight.
Now Luis Suarez has been fined by Liverpool, the
Professional Footballers Association proposes an Anger Management Counselling,
the FA yet to take a stand on the case, and his future is being discussed
although the club still want to keep him despite heavy criticism.
Is the Tyson experience enough? No! But could
help. Players need to be more responsible and understand that the kids are watching. Apology accepted, go and sin no more Luis Suarez.
