Sports “Biting” in June

It seems biting in sports is a June thing.

Luis Suarez, a player for Uruguay in World Cup soccer bit his opponent (Giorgio Chiellini) just before the match between Uruguay and Italy.

Uruguay won and can “bite on” while Italy was eliminated as though bitten by Dracula.

The most famous biting sports incident took place on June 28th, 1997 in a boxing ring. Mike Tyson bit the ear of Evander Holyfield, leading to Holyfield being declared the winner and Tyson losing his boxing license, though it was later reinstated.
