I don’t follow international soccer but when I read this article about proposed punishments in the wake of the Italian soccer scandals, it just blew my mind. Demoting top teams to the lowest rung of league play? Can Americans even imagine something similar happening here? What if one day we woke up to find out that the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, and Cubs, four of baseball’s five biggest brand-names, were being banished to the Single-A Florida State League? And if their records and titles were being stripped from them? I don’t think Americans realize the magnitude of what’s being proposed here for the top Italian teams. Honestly, it boggles the mind. I’m glad I’m not a Juventus fan today...
