I know this will rub #USMNT fans wrong way, but this reported decision is bullshit.
If you receive a red — controversial or not — you’re suspended for next game.
Suspending the suspension is laughable and automatically puts into question integrity of competition.

There is a reason that we do not have MLAs decide on electoral boundaries. Tossing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission and replacing it with a UCP-dominated committee is not just a bad idea. It is really bad for democracy. Ask the US, ask Hungary. This is not normal!
You know what the hockey world needs?
Summit series. Canada vs. USA. Seven games. NHL rules. Yanks won the Olympics so they'd get home ice advantage.
OT would be five-on-five, just like the playoffs.
It would be the greatest thing we've ever seen.
I typically don't like to be alarmist but any student of history would tell you: all the lights are blinking scarlet red.
I mean:
- Massive military expansion: check (see below)
- Annexation threats: check
- Demonstrated willingness to use force unilaterally: check
- New imperial doctrine proclaimed: check
- Withdrawal from international organizations and international treaties: check
At this stage we're not even watching warning signs anymore. We're watching the thing itself, in motion.
The only way the world stops this train is to put differences aside and form a balancing coalition. Otherwise the dominos will keep falling one after the other.
Hope of self-restraint of a rogue great power isn't historically a very successful strategy. Self-restraint requires either institutions (now being exited) or norms (now being shredded). The only thing that can bring it back is fear of consequences.
Now we have the Ohio State conversation. They started the season scoring 14 vs Texas, ended with 10 vs Indiana, 14 vs Miami. In between they beat 10 nobodies.
These huge conferences are allowing teams to fraud their way through a season and they looked pretty damn fake tonight.
I was born & raised in Alberta. My family has been here for generations. I want to say something that some Albertans may not like or understand:
We've never been hard done by or treated unfairly by the rest of the country. If you believe we have it's because you've been played.
