    I'm a fan of a catchy beat, so I dabble in k pop from time to time. And the production values on some of those videos are crazy good.

    Sounders and Miami players fight after final whistle of League’s Cup final. Started by Suarez (big shock, huh?)

    I turned it off early. Missed some wild antics, shenanigans! Will MLS suspend people involved or will it impact next year's Leagues Cup?

    Given it’s overseen by MLS - garber was there last night - the suspensions should go into league play
    I have my doubts they will

    No. That’s not it.

    The CBA gives the league the right to suspend/fine players for reputation/brand damages. MLS would have to lean in to award penalties in MLS play.

    As far as League’s Cup, I think it’s safe to say Suarez and Busquets won’t be playing in it next year.

    Who gives a shit if they play in leagues cup next year. From what I’ve gathered this is likely the last year for Suarez, at least, and possibly busquets too.

    suspend them in league play. Anyone who pushes back on that has outed themselves as a moron

    I think that they deserve harsh penalties. I'm not sure if I like the precedent of suspending players for one competition when the bad behavior happened in another. If the precedent has already been set, then by all means suspend away.

    There is existing precedent. Dempsey got suspended from league play and Open Cup play after he tore up the ref's book. Seattle was the league's darling at the time, and Dempsey was one of the most promoted players by the league, but they still handed out the punishment. I'm not sure they'll do the same to Miami, but they should.

    There are several more precedents than just that one. Dempsey was punished for grave disrespect of the ref and the game.

    I think something will happen, but I just don’t know exactly when. If anything, it must be announced before Miami’s next MLS game this Saturday.

    Which is why MLS should suspend them. Suarez is almost always at the boiling point. There’s almost no way he can play that match without losing his cool.

    I'm not a Seattle or Miami fan for the most part but I do love the fact that Miami, with all their superstars and League love, lost. Lost big.

    There has to be some gratification or maybe some surprise or respect from fans outside of MLS that watch some great, yet aging, world superstars, not win everything in the "retirement" league that is MLS.

    It's a bit of a lose-lose situation because they will say MLS is weak if aging stars come in and dominate and if they don't it's the players fault for being old and not the fact that MLS is tougher than you might think.

    With it being Messi though I think there might be some begrudging respect or subconscious acknowledgement that it's harder to win over here than they might expect. Even for the best player in the world and his buddies.

    You know it's frustrating for the players when they react as they did after the loss. Suspend them all!

    I dunno a lot of players go back to their home country or lesser leagues to try and hold onto what they once had. If a lot of your skill was based on pace or strength, the decline seems to be more noticeable. Someone like Messi who never really had either has a bit more longevity. Sort of like when Beckham came here. When you can still drop a dime across the field you're going to last a bit longer past your prime. Some players deteriorate faster because their strengths don't last with age. Others go longer because they have the game IQ to adjust, or didn't rely on outlier skills. You see it all over other sports where some players manage to outlast the norm because of intangibles that don't necessarily decrease with age

    Yep. More DonG bull****. There won’t be any further sanctions other than maybe fines. Inter-Miami is MLS’ Juve as it relates to special treatment.

    I am SSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOO tired of the DonG conspiracy talk.

    Dude, while not perfect, has navigated this league from $25M to $500M valuations, and looking strong. We have a team in Salt Lake County. I have some serious nits to pick, but on the whole I am soooooooooooo grateful that we get MLS within a 30min drive.

    Both of these opinions can be true.

    The Don has done amazing things to make MLS practically relevant and at the same time favor teams and "special" players.

    I think Miami is more the KC Chiefs of the MLS. That's a team that gets some special treatment.
