The punishment of a suspension for nine matches and four months of no activity linked to football for Suarez is highly exaggerated.
What about Neymar elbowing Modric? He just received a yellow card. But by elbowing Neymar could have hurt Modric much more than Suarez could have hurt Chiellini with his childish biting.
The biting fetish is indeed very weird, whether you call it childish or primitive.
But in the end you risk hurting somebody much more by all these fouls which normally are committed during a football match. And for these, players usually get at most a yellow card.
By biting somebody you do not inflict more than a intense, controlled and momentary discomfort. Suarez's obviousloy does not bite to maliciously inflict injury on an opponent. Neither does he carelessly put the physical well-being of an opponent at risk, as is done so commonly during football matches all the time.
This punishment is simply ridiculously disproportional.
