DA Baracus Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 WHEN WILL THE BRITISH MEDIA LEAVE SAINTLY LUIS SUAREZ ALONE? WHEN WILL THEY STOP? Seriously, who drew that? It looks nothing like Suarez. The hair especially is ludicrous and isn't even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaviliunas Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I've heard the whole 'role model' pish be wheeled out over this incident. I see that there is a story that a kid bit another kid during a game and it's being used to say "See! See! He's a role model for kids and now they're copying him!". In actual fact I'd say that it shows that kids aren't as stupid as made out and know what's right and wrong. Only ONE out of the hundreds of thousands of kids have done it, and even then it's just been assumed he did it because Suarez did. Kids choose their own 'role models', not the media (at least not until they're older and more stupid). This pish about footballers being role models is a hopelessly outmoded concept that is mired in what are seen as the halcyon days of the first half of last century. Many kids will love footballers and idolise them but if they do copy them it's usually their haircut or trying a skill they've seen. I don't hear of many kids seeing an awful challenge or elbow in the face and copying it on a Saturday morning or at school. Nah man there's been plenty of young kids shagging grannies, battering wives, drink driving, racially abusing folk, setting thier house on fire, shagging thier brothers bird. This behavoir amongs kids is fucking rampant, and its because of footballers. THIER ROLEMODELS 11111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasily Zaytsev Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Did we all catch Gordon Strachan's remarks on the public response to Suarez's behaviour? He made them whilst appearing on a BBC WC broadcast alongside Chiles, Wright and Dixon. I thought they were incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugz4Xw-ksq8 He suggested that many clubs and football associations have been partisans in the cause of someone like Suarez, implying that there was hypocrisy afoot. He then went on to say that in football we - aka clubs, football associations and supporters - have no morals. By which he either meant that clubs, football associations and supporters have no moral authority or simply that they're immoral to the extent that they care most about the success of their football teams.'We've all done it'; 'Moral judgement isn't our number one priority in football'. Do I paraphrasing Strachan unfairly? I think he is guilty of incredible casuistry. I honestly can't recall a player with a history of trespassing on both the rules of the game and on the laws of the land in the same way as Luis Suarez has. He's always been preoccupied with disguising his viciousness, he's never been readily apologetic nor sincerely remorseful. As for morality, the rules of the game have to do with more than pitch dimensions, for example. They have to do with fair-play and well-being and are morally underpinned. I don't think that the president of every football association would disagree with Suarez's punishment in the same breath as they would mention his talent. Would they? Some might have had more regard for the rules and have meted out their own punishment quicker than FIFA. I understand Strachan's remarks have earned him some acclaim. In my opinion he's painted a picture football as a sport which has difficulty in catching up with an ordinary idea of moral behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What simplistic rubbish disguised as vacuous humour. Suggesting that footballers carry some sort of responsibility is not the same as saying that their particular actions are instantly imitated. Discussion of nuanced subject matter really is beyond some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
