8 Game Ban For Suarez.

What I can't get - and never have - is why scummy behaviour which is 'racist' is apparently worse than all other types of scummy behaviour.
Insulting somebody who has ginger hair is apparently less serious. Mocking somebody who is disabled is at worst a minor 'public order offence'. 'Effing and blinding' at one of HM's representatives in the Police Force is simply considered trivial.
No, for me, bad behaviour towards another human being is bad behaviour. Suarez may possibly have got what he deserved but ....
To compound this matter - it is interesting that he was found guilty and condemned based on the word of a single person - the alleged victim.
Had there not been an alleged 'racist content' to the remark - would his guilt have been assumed quite so readily? - I doubt it!
Why is Evra considered more trustworthy than Suarez? This would certainly have been thrown out by any Bench when I was chairing!
PS.   If he'd thumped Evra - he'd have got a THREE match ban! Our world has gone totally MAD!
