Apologies, I wasn't clear. Tittle tattle in the press and tv at home is largely irrelevant in my opinion.
A better question is 'has the British media influenced FIFA's decision making, increasing the sanction on Luis Suarez'?
That seems to be what Uruguayans are insinuating. Personally I think they're overstating the British media's reach, if they have any reach at all.
I think they're just looking for a scapegoat in an attempt to deflect attention from Luis. In fact, I'm surprised the Uruguayan FA hasn't been taken to task for it's conduct.
I guess over the long haul, they've helped paint a picture of Suarez and that's obviously played some part in the overall perception of him, which has had some leverage in his punishment, but you're right, his colours have been pretty much nailed onto the mast by himself.
At first he probably was victimised, but now Suarez is more or less anticipating and predicting the backlash and playing upto it to provoke the shitstorm. He seems to think it's an excuse to fall back on so he can do what the fuck he likes, which is obviously retarded thinking.
He said earlier in the week after the England game, that he had proven the English media "wrong". Then a day later he goes and bites a player, prompting the exact response he said he's won the battle against.
I honestly think he's that thick that he's not really thought it through and done it to use the media as a scapegoat reason for him to jump ship, I think that's at least part of it, it's certainly convenient anyway.
