UPDATE:
SUH HAD HIS APPEAL HEARD ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3RD AND WAS INFORMED THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE TO HIS PUNISHMENT...
Is this a conversation that we would even be having if the perpetrator was some no name 3rd string linebacker that was only in the game because someone got hurt, or it was a blowout, or whatever? Answer....of course not! Would it be discussed? Ya, it would be talked about on all the sports shows for a part of a segment just like any other exciting or newsworthy play, it happens daily. But that's it. It dies on the vine right there.
Because Suh took the cowardly position to defend his ridiculous actions on the field that day after the game instead of doing what he did as soon as the team, his agent, parents, friends or PR people talked to him(or maybe any combination of or ALL of the above), and just apologize. It's that simple. We'll never know whether anything or any of the apologies that come out of these athletes mouths are honest feelings, we all only have our judgement to fall back on, we are humans and can be wrong though, JUST LIKE THE SUPERSTAR ATHLETES we watch on tv. They make mistakes too, some more heinous then others obviously but just remember that the next time your chastising someone....don't throw stones if you live in a glass house, good moniker to live by.
If he honestly just had time to think about it and watch it a few times and felt terrible about it then great, call the guy you did it to and tell him that, we aren't the ones he needs to apologize to though, let's remember guys, just because we buy a ticket to the game does not mean we own them, cheer and boo till you don't have a voice anymore, but that's where it ends, leave it at the door, come home and kiss your wife and kids, and get over it!
