what do you think their punishment should be?
i'm not really a footie fan, but my boyf made me watch match of the day and see the fight in the middle of a newcastle match between two players on the same team. i was shocked.
football has recieved enough bad press in recent times, as there is a feeling that the behaviour of players (clearly swearing on camera was mentioned) was having an effect on kids and their behaviour in the playground and shouldn't be shown in the afternoon.
this latest incident was far worse. the fact that they also didn't apologise to each other in the quickly arranged press conference afterwards only added to it.
children are highly impressionable, the incident was wrong on so many levels (bad sportsmanship for a start)
my question is, what do you think should the punishment should be? is a ban enough or should they be activley made to coach kids in the rights and wrongs of the sport?
