Bizarre Biting Incidents@Sports
Mental Pressure makes people behave bizarrely
Mike Tyson former heavyweight champion bited his opponent
Evander Holyfield’s ear’s 15 years ago during a WBA title bout which lead to
loss of boxing licence for one year and an unerasable mark in his life.
This was neither the first nor the last incident in the history.
There are number of biting incidents from 1980′s and are continuing till date.
Johan Le Roux South African rugby player bit New Zealand’s Sean
Fitzpatrick’s ear during a real scrum in 1994. After learning
from his lengthy suspension, he said, “For an 18-month suspension,
I feel I probably should have torn it off.”
Jarko Ruutu of Ottawa Senators right wing denied biting the thumb of
Buffalo’s Andrew Peters in 2009 but he was suspended for two games and
was fined $31,700 . which Makes the price of Kobe beef look like Alpo.
When asked about the incident , Peters said
“I don’t think if I did something that stupid I’d really be admitting to it either,”
Francisco Gallardo who plays for Sevilla as a midfielder celebrated a
teammate’s goal by biting on his genitals in the ensuing pileup. The teammate’s
genitals. The Royal Spanish Football Federation suspended and fined him for
violating “sporting dignity and decorum.”
When asked about the incident he said
“I am sure I didn’t offend anyone. I don’t think what I did was very noteworthy.”
Alex Burrows who plays for Vancouver as a winger bited the right finger of
Bruins center Patrice Bergeron during the first game of the 2011 Stanley Cup finals.
where Bergeron shouted of the refs”They didn’t see it,” . “But we were speaking
French and I [asked Burrows] why did he do that. That linesman speaks French,
and he said that [Burrows'] explanation was that he put my finger in his mouth
and he had to do it.”
Robert Baker, Alabama wide receiver caught a touchdown pass on the final play
of a 1996 game against Georgia. Were Alabama won, apparently riling up
Georgia Bulldog mascot Uga V, who lunged at Baker in the back of the endzone
were he tried to bite him.Baker said , They should probably clarify here that
Uga V is an actual canine and not a man dressed up as a dog.
In 1997, Marv Albert who works as a broadcaster bit female companion
Vanessa Perhach multiple times in Virginia, which lead to a trial on assault
charges. Where Albert admitted at the trial that biting was part of their sexual
encounters but that long-time acquaintance Perhach had never lodged any
complaints over it.
The plea agreement didn’t come until after testimony from a surprise witness,
Patricia a concierge of Masten Hyatt Hotels.
She said in another time and place she rejected Albert’s biting advances,
telling the court that , “I went to grab his hair, and his hair lifted off.”
Albert understandably entered the plea agreement soon after and was given a
12-month suspended sentence.
Sports are not the only bastion of biting, it might seem after reading these
examples.
Whatever the situation or the place or the opponent people are losing their
minds to overcome their current situation.
So there arises a question whom to blame for such bizarre incidents and who
are responsible for such incidents which makes a bad remark on the careers of
people.
