I'm not sure I understand peoples' reactions to Jericho's suspension. Yes he's a heel (and a great one at that) and it's his job to get fans to hate him to the point they'll happily pay money to watch him get beaten up. But what he did was a crime in the country he was in at the time. I don't know whether part of the reactionary outrage is American fans thinking that American laws should supersede those of the country they're in but Jericho broke Brazilian law. It doesn't matter if the rest of the world thinks that to stamp on a flag is acceptable - it isn't in Brazil.

His suspension is clearly damage limitation as WWE wants to build good relations in South American countries so you can see why they went along with it. And this suspension won't harm Jericho one bit.
