FIFA , to their credit almost instantly slapped a 4 month ban on him prohibiting him from any football activity . Now on the face of it , he can't really have a defence because it's his third time and there's video evidence
Uruguay have given Suarez their undisputed backing and judging by the reaction on twitter the Liverpool fans have done the same . I also think that his ban was justified but the Uruguay fans IMO have enough reason to back their guy , he's their best player , talisman and their game changer , ditto same for Liverpool . Now , fiercely backing their players even when they're facing consequences for such deplorable actions may be seen as morally wrong but look at the results, even in previous cases both Liverpool and Uruguay have backed Luis Suarez to the hilt and he's richly paid them back , Uruguay for the size of their country have massively overachieved and Liverpool were within a Steven gerrard slip of winning the premier league
Now let's look at another case , that of John terry . He's been fairly controversial as well but whereas Chelsea have always backed him to the hilt , England have washed their hands off him and forced him to retire . The difference in results is there for all to see , for Chelsea terry was probably the best central defender in the league last season and as far as England go , in their World Cup campaign all they lacked was an organiser of a defence in the ilk of John terry
I'm not saying Uruguay and Liverpool are right to back their man , I'm just imagining what they're thinking process is , maybe for players who contribute so much you have to take the criticism for backing him and as I said results do not lie Uruguay have been much more successful than England recently and that I think is a direct result of them fiercely backing their players . I personally agree to the ban but part of me thinks what England's state would've been had they taken the bait and selected John terry
