With the impending return of Luis Suarez to competitive football, I thought I'd drop this one in here for a laugh.
Now Suarez is a guy who has clearly been shown to be guilty of biting opponents, although the racism thing from a couple of years ago is less clear-cut. Effectively it was one man's word against another and the governing body decided 'on the balance of probability' (gotta love that old chestnut!) that he was guilty of the crime. Whether he did or didn't do it, the beat-up around it reminded me a lot of this current s**t-storm and the trial by media was out in full force.
The following link is related to his return following the racism suspension and typifies the kind of irrational thinking that has been rampant in these two years.
