Let’s be clear and say that any suspension is a bad suspension. It’s not like the order is executed, a player is suspended, and anybody with a rooting interest in said player high-fives.
That being said, there’s a lot to unpack when it comes to suspensions. The obvious is that you’re without the suspended player for a period of time, but there are a few more layers to this onion.
Get hypothetical with me and pretend that Dallas Cowboys CB Nolan Carroll is suspended for his recent arrest. What would that cause? Panic? Uproar? How about a calm mind that processes the ripple effect it has on the team and how that might be a potentially beneficial thing?
