Twitter Kills Luis Suárez for Biting Player "Mike Tyson" Style (@miketyson)



Back in 1997, two heavyweight boxing giants stepped into the ring for a second time to prove who was the better man with the hands. This rematch of Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield definitely went down in history, not only for the monumental match-up, but because of Tyson's bizarre choice to bite a piece of Holyfield's ear off, a moment still considered to be one of the most scandalous in sports history.


Fast forward 17 years and the World Cup match up between Uruguay vs. Italy has many fans going through deja vu, as Uruguay's Luis Suárez is accused of biting Italian player Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder.


Odd enough, this is Suárez's third time in the last four years that he's been accused of biting the opposition.


With that kind of footage for the world to see, it's obvious Twitter would run with it and create some pretty hilarious memes and comments connecting Suárez and Tyson as "biting brothers."
