FIFA Denies Suarez's Appeal Because Nothing Has Changed In The Last Week and Biting People Is Still Fucked Up

A statement from FIFA read: "The FIFA Appeal Committee has decided to reject the appeals lodged by both the Uruguayan player Luis Suárez and the Uruguayan FA, and to confirm the decision rendered by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee on 25 June 2014 in its entirety. (via ESPN)

Wow. Real tough call for FIFA on this one. Sucks for Suarez that social norms haven't drastically changed in the past few days though, that might have saved him. I don't even know how you are allowed to appeal this shit. Like, there's pretty conclusive video evidence. But I guess you can't knock the hustle. Gotta try right?

With that said I wanna clear some stuff up. I'm against the biting for sure. But only because it's against the rules. It's an 'integrity of the game' kinda thing. If it were up to me, all that would be legal. There's 100 ways soccer could be improved and 99 of them include legalizing more physical violence. Imagine if soccer was just rugby with your feet? Like don't change the rules of soccer at all, except for allowing people to full on drop shoulder into each other. The day that rule change is made is the day the United States of America becomes a legitimate contender for the World Cup.


PS: I'm completely aware that would never happen in soccer, but I think I just thought of the most entertaining sport on the planet. Put it on ice and i'm pretty sure that's a billion dollar idea.
