Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.While Luis Suarez's alleged bite on Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's 1-0 World Cup victory over Italy has made headlines all around the world for its vulgarity, it seems Uruguay fans do not view the incident with the same shock or disdain.
"No, no we don't do that!" one supporter said when asked if the incident was a bite.
"It's complicated, it's very complicated," another answered. "The problem is that he [Suarez] will have to go to the dentist now."
In fact, only one Uruguay fan suggested that the Liverpool striker should face punishment. "He's gone too far," the fan conceded.

Suarez has until 9pm (UK time) this evening to contest Fifa's charge. He could receive anything from a three-match to 24-match ban.
