Do not blame Balogun for this outcome.
He did not complain about the red card.
He shook the ref's hand.
He said that he wanted to be a good role model for kids.
Most other players whine on every single foul called.
Balogun showed class and I am a lifetime fan.
You root for your country.
I think the red card was wrong.
You think the appeal process was wrong.
(I would argue it shouldn’t have needed one)
We disagree.
I am American, so I’m pleased Flo can play.
It will ultimately be decided on the field.
Ball don’t lie.

(I’ve been on appeal calls with both the NFL and the Premier League many times. Trust me, there are times you know you’re likely fighting a losing battle, but you fight it anyway because that’s what you do for your team. Every now and then it works. But the vast majority you either lose an appeal you thought you should’ve won or you lose one you already knew you were going to lose. So it’s nice to be on the winning side of one that shouldn’t have been red in the first place. Still have to go out and perform now.)
