I'm all for protecting the superstars of our game. Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Jozy Altidore. Their safety should be our priority. Yet for some reason, Luis Figo wants to stop a player from receiving a red card and suspension as well as a penalty for the other team. Why would he do that? If anything, triple punishment isn't enough. Low-life 'footballers' mindless enough to believe they can actually take the ball from these world-stars should be subjected to the Pentagon. A new system comprising of five punishments. The existing three would remain, but a psychiatric evaluation and 30-day jail sentence would also come into play. That should teach them to try and stop the giants of the game and let the fans see what they came to see. Destruction.
