John Terry handed 4 match ban for abusive language against QPR's Anton Ferdinand

I consider this decision absurd. Football was always a tough sport, every great player was different on the field, the dirty language and the little conflicts were always part of the game. I guess that everybody who has played competitive football knows this and should react knowing these things. But the players also know that what happens on the field, stays there so why punish somebody for some harsh words, I will never understand. If these things will become more and more frequent, football will become a game without aggressiveness, and that will eventually kill the game. This ban was not alive in the game against Arsenal, because I have seen Terry on the field.

You mean a player was banned for saying something offensive? Wow! If we banned all the athletes that say stupid things , there wouldn't be enough people to play Any professional sport, lol. What happens that is worse is the player can not endorse any product. They are shamed into apologizing but the words live on.

i think it`s unfair for John Tery he had been punished with removing his badge as captain, it is more the hard punishment for JT

it`s unfair for John Terry maybe FA try to take revenge against Terry what`s the mistake of Terry for FA so FA since 1 years ago try to make john terry makes suprised decision, retired from national team..

The punishment is definitely too light. Suarez was suspended for seven games and reason given for the discrepancy is that Suarez mouthed the word a few times while Terry did it once. In my eyes, a racist remark, regardless of the number of times of it being spoken, it is still unwarrant and deserve equal punishment. As for his reason for quitting the national team, it has to do with this case. In fact, I thought he should have never been allowed to take the flight for Euro 2012. He is just a horrible person.
