Suarez, Busquets, and Falcone earned suspensions. How is Suarez even employed at this point? The number of sociopathic (psychopathic?) incidents in which he has been involved is staggering. He needs to be banned from the sport.

I’ve just heard it said there are concerns that there may be misuse of public funds during the 2028 Summer Olympics. Let’s be clear, the only purpose of the #Olympics is to misuse public funds.

The behavior of Suarez, Busquets and Falcone was reprehensible, if not criminal. Suarez’s career of sociopathic and psychopathic episodes should mean he is banned from the sport forever. How is he still employed? I’ve lost all respect for that entire team. All of them, from owner to kit man.

At this point, Suarez really just needs to be removed from the game altogether. He should not be allowed to compete anymore. He has had so many sociopathic and psychopathic episodes that it is no longer safe for him to be on the pitch.

Watching the Leagues Cup final, I was saddened to realize that the #InterMiami squad is not Old GOATS, they are old goats. Suarez and Busquets after the whistle were embarrassing. They both need major suspensions. Suarez should actually be removed from the sport at this point. #SoccerSky
