Who is damaging England's reputation? Suarez or the FA+SKY?

Many shared their views on the Suarez - Ivanovic incident, one of which was David Cameron. Cameron justified his remarks on this particular case by saying the incident "sets the most appalling example to young people in our country." 

However is Suarez at fault for all of this? He is clearly sorry and apologised more than twice. One cannot also let off the media companies who played replays of the incident for tens of times during the match. If you don't want to give a bad example to children, shouldn't the amount of replays be limited to once or twice?

In Italy there is a limit on the number of instant replays for controversial referee decisions. This was done to safeguard the referees from extreme criticism they were suffering. Shouldn't a similar clause limit the amount of replays for such incidents?

All this hype and replays all led to widely publicise the "appalling example" and harsher ban given to Suarez - a view shared by a number of former players.

At least one positive comes from Mancini who says that "Luis Suarez is his player of the year, despite the Liverpool striker's ban for biting Branislav Ivanovic."
