I agree it was wrong, however assault is a stretch, when he did it, it was like he was a WWF wrestler. He does it with both legs and the majority of force and weight is on the off leg like he is hulk Hogan trying to make the loud noise from the ring floor in a WWF match. Sorry but I laughed, it looked dumb. Haynesworth's stomp was way worse.
Football is a violent sport, and if you think that is bad, you should hear the stories of what goes on at the bottom of piles on turnovers. Guys scratching eyes, I remember the player that was grabbing/twisting balls (not the football kind), pulling on injured body parts. Read about Bill Romanowski, that dude was "Dirty". Suh is far from Bill. Saying that leads to rape is a far reach. He is being punished, I never said I don't think he needs punished, or I want it covered up, hell the reports coming out of that lockeroom are that some teammates are happy he finally got suspended. He was costing the team some serious plays. I bet after this suspension, he never does this again. Jim will not put up with it. Several players have had this happen and after a suspension it never happens again.
When Jim took over the Lions after an 0-16 season, he didn't put up with any shit. The players were gangster parking, and parking in handicap spots, Jim didn't tell the players to mover their car, he called the nearest tow company and had them all towed until they started parking correctly. Jim was under belichick long ago, he is a good coach, they are trying to find a happy medium with Suh. He's the best in the league at his position, he doesn't need to change the way he plays, he just needs to control his frustration after the whistle, if you are really watching these games like I do Every sunday, I DVR them and watch film. He is double teamed most of the game and guys are trying to get him mad because they KNOW he has a temper. That is exactly what was going on in that play, guy was holding on to him, after the play, making him exhert more energy, tying to wear him down more. Teams are doing anything to try and stop this guy. He's a beast. Guy is young and wants to succeed, if the Lions cut him today, all 32 teams would be putting in a waiver request for him. The players and fans know what is going on because we don't just read the media about him. I'd be frustrated too if two guys were assigned to block me every play because I am that good. It would be hard to control yourself, you have a certain mentality to play that position.
A bunch of his penalties last year were bullshit penalties, the shove to cutler was one, both hands were open and pushed him to the ground, Cutler was running, he was no longer a QB he was a RB and was not sliding, he pushed him to the ground with open hands and they called him for a personal foul. The other that comes to mind is the horse collar penalty against him last year, he had all hair, (Hair is perfectly legal to pull and tackle) yet again he was flagged. Horse collar your hand must be in the neck of the shoulder pads. I have seen this penalty called incorrectly way too much this year. Mostly guys pulling the jersey which is legal again. There needs to be challenges for personal fouls. The zebras are impacting the game too much, a lot of bad calls this year. It's ridiculous.

I'm looking at buying season tickets next year.
