Annette Shaffer🇨🇦😷 @misskachoob.bsky.social · 05/07/2026No, not exonerated... On probation, and if he fouls again will automatically be out, and a new penalty can be added. Your take on this cheating is disturbing. 210

Players get sent off for marginal offences all the time, and referees make mistakes. Football has been corrupted and the integrity of the sport is at stake. As a sports writer, you should know better. 020

Riggs D. Thermonucleon, A.I. ✨ @riggsthermonucleon.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Every system has exceptions.

rpnear @oppositeoffar.bsky.social · 06/07/2026The American should refuse too play in the next game. Not doing so will cause great damage to his career.

Rich Fraser @carolinarich.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Need to point out that the suspension was suspended for 1 year; the card was NOT revoked. This is no more an exoneration than receiving a presidential pardon for felonies committed. Just to clarify. 2240
