That would be waving the white flag.
When an NBA ref who was involved in a crucial 2007 NBA playoff series that ended on some very controversial officiating to say the least (that is, euphemistically) subsequently plead guilty to fixing 54 NBA games and served 14 months in Federal prison in 2008, I stopped watching basketball entirely for 4 years, and really only begrudgingly embraced it again, albeit with the caveat of acknowledging that it all could be good fiction, but hey, I like novels and movies.
That being said, my brain can only handle one fictional sport at a time  |
I don't think you need worry that if they can prove Suarez bit him he'll be banned probably for the rest of the tournament at least. There might be some problem proving it but I can't imagine what. There is corruption in football but I don't see this being the kind of decision it affects. Why would FIFA
not want to ban him if they can prove it?
