Well the NBA at the time didn't have a set punishment for brawling with fans but FIFA has a set penalty for a handball. That's all that he should get IMO.And that's all they gave Suarez. He got the routine one-match suspension for getting red-carded regardless of circumstances. Suarez wasn't red-carded for mere "handballing". He was red-carded for "denying the opponent a clear scoring opportunity". That's an automatic red card. It ususally happens when a beaten and dribbled-around goalie takes down an opponent who's about to score. This time it was a non-goalie doing the equivalent. I'm not disagreeing with FIFA. They went by precedent and strictly by the rules. However, I think that in the future they should add a new guideline for when these things happen in the final minutes and the result of the match depends on it and make it an aggravating circumstance resulting in a two-game ban. |
