Why is Luis Suarez being charged with assault?

[MyUserName]

He bit someone and caused damage. They have video evidence and witnesses.

The biting is nothing to do with football so it is not part of the game.

How come he has not being arrested for assault?

I remember a rugby playing being jailed for a diving headbut too. Just because you are on a pitch does not mean the law does not apply.

Gay bloke bites anyone gay bloke. Does there have to be charges each time this happens?

You can catch diseases from being bitten... they're super cautious about AIDS.

An injury which occurs in line with the sport and is something to be expected is one thing (like when I took a steel mace across the face when someone misjudged his swing). However, doing a sport does not mean you are immune to law.

If we were in a boxing match and I fractured your skull with a crowbar would you think I should be arrested?
