Solana rips the MLS for waiting several days to reach a decision on Luis Suarez.
Transcript
00:00So I'm very upset about what the MLS has decided to do this morning.
00:04I don't know if any of you saw this,
00:05but Inter-Miami is going to play Nashville game three, win or go home.
00:09The winner moves on in the second round.
00:11The loser is ousted from the MLS playoffs in the first round.
00:15Same spot Inter-Miami was in a season ago at home.
00:18And they have suspended my guy Luis Suarez for game three against Nashville on Sunday
00:25for a play that he wasn't penalized for.
00:28Not shown a yellow or red card in the game the other day,
00:32but the MLS went back, replayed the incident,
00:36and has now handed down a one-game suspension in a essentially game seven of the playoffs.
00:42That guy's got behavioral problems as well.
00:44He does.
00:45He would probably benefit from a sit-down with Spoh and Zoe and Riley.
00:51He's way past that, man. I promise he's way past that.
00:54But it is insane.
00:56If you go watch the play, hey, definitely kick the dude.
01:01But to suspend him for a game seven,
01:04and we're talking about one of the biggest stars in the league,
01:06imagine suspending one of the biggest stars in the league
01:09for something that he wasn't penalized for on the floor
01:13or on the pitch or on the court five days later before a win or go home match.
01:19It's absurd what the MLS is doing here.
01:21I got to watch the play because I'll send it to you.
01:27Didn't he spit on someone recently too?
01:28He bit a guy.
01:30Well, he bit a guy a couple years ago in the World Cup.
01:33But he spit on someone recently.
01:34That was his third biting incident.
01:36He did serve a multi-game suspension for spitting on a Seattle staff member in the League's Cup final.
01:43And, again, that kind of stuff happens.
01:46Oh, Solana.
01:48He cocked back and donkey kicked the man in his thigh.
01:51What are you talking about?
01:52He didn't cock back.
01:53That's ridiculous.
01:54Solana, I'm watching it right now.
01:57He didn't cock back.
01:58He cocks back and donkey kicks the man straight in the thigh.
02:02Well, if you're going to describe it that way, of course he's going to get suspended.
02:08Five days is the problem with that story.
02:10It took five days to do it.
02:12But, Solana, you watch that film and say, oh, that's a soccer play there.
02:15That's not worth a one-game suspension.
02:18It's not.
02:18He should have been carted on the field.
02:20I would have been down with that.
02:22And you move on.
02:23That's not worth a one-game suspension.
02:24It's just not.
02:25He got tripped up, retaliated, and he stuck his cleat in the dude's groin.
02:29Like, no big deal.
02:31I mean, come on.
02:32That happened.
02:33Solana, that's a stickier cleat?
02:36That's a donkey kick to the crotch, Solana.
02:39Whatever, man.
02:40Stupid.
02:40I don't know what to do.
02:44I'm still reeling over the Panthers' point total.
02:50Then he smiles, and then he puts up, like, a finger gun and shoots at something.
02:55Dude, Solana, you're defending this?
02:57This is crazy.
02:58I'm not defending his actions.
03:00He's a repeat offender, and he's a dummy.
03:03And it's hard to defend a guy, even though he's one of my favorite athletes of all time.
03:07But to suspend one of the biggest stars in your league for that, Crowder, you would agree, is ridiculous.
03:13It's preposterous.
03:14Genuinely, it is.
03:15To suspend him for a game seven?
03:16It is ridiculous and preposterous.
03:19I've been watching a lot of Stephen A. Smith.
03:20You've got some big words under your belt today, huh, Solana?
03:32Hey, so Fox signs Drew Brees to a multi-year deal.
03:36They have locked up Tom Brady, Greg Olson, and now Drew Brees.
03:39He's going to partner with Adam Amin, but that probably means Mark Sanchez hit the bricks.
03:45Well, understandable.
03:48Saw that coming.
03:50I mean, I don't know.
03:53Don't get stabbed.
03:55Don't beat up a 70-year-old man for no reason either.
03:57Don't get stabbed in self-defense, or the guy is stabbing you in self-defense of what you're doing to him.
04:05Allegedly.
04:07Allegedly.
04:07Allegedly.
04:08I wasn't sure how I was going to defend Luis Suarez.
04:13I'm fascinated to hear how you're going to defend Mark Sanchez.
04:15Listen, don't do something that causes someone to stab you in self-defense.
04:24Allegedly.
04:25Allegedly.
