I did not hear, nor did I read in the advanced leagues, that the federations exempted the clubs and their players from the penalties of a previous season; The accumulation of colored cards, or administrative penalties, is the result of a departure from the spirit and sports behavior, although some federations replace the penalties for accumulated cards with a material allowance.
• We see such heresies outside the professional systems because such penalties are regulatory to correct behavior and preserve the sportsmanship that the international federations, led by FIFA, stress, and we have never read that one of these federations overturned its penalties without the intervention of the CAS court.
• Here, penalties are dropped, even if they were issued by disciplinary committees
be for the sake of a club or official; Sometimes it was issued due to a physical assault on a referee or a competing player; This makes the penalties that are issued (fragile) and do not represent a deterrent to other players, and they are repeated!
The appropriateness of this saying; What was issued by one of the Gulf federations in the process of dropping penalties and colored cards: and without credible reasons such as the joy of obtaining an unprecedented sporting achievement, or as a result of a national occasion that requires the issuance of such a lifting of penalties, which is not commensurate with the value of disciplinary penalties.
• When you lift such sanctions, you reduce the deterrence rate and make them recur. Because there are those who feel that the (pardon) will come when club officials call for that, even though the causes were catastrophic, and are transmitted by satellite channels and social media that turned the stadiums into something like
Bullfighting arenas!
• In my opinion, the presence of disciplinary committees in various federations; It did not come out of nowhere. Rather, these committees, which sometimes include legal advisors and judges; Its decisions are supposed to be final, and the international federations do not allow boards of directors or any official to overturn them; Except through higher judicial committees in order not to be loose!
• The wrongdoer should not be rewarded for his mistake; a star or an ordinary player, and even those who offend federal officials, clubs, or technicians verbally or in writing that diminishes their value and personality; The (pardon) quest should not come to win the clubs or for personal prominence; This will not reduce the deterrence rate.
• Of course, we are looking to enhance sportsmanship in our stadiums. Access to sports professionalism does not come in (chaotic) circumstances, but we have to
We enhance the value of the legal committees specialized in sports, in line with the Olympic and international regulations; Which makes it a value (deterrent) that enhances the spirit of sports competition
