Ndamukong Suh who plays for the Detroit Lions was suspended for two games without pay by the NFL for his actions against the Packers on Thanksgiving. Usually when players get suspended for something along these lines the league requires them to take anger management classes but in Suh’s case he is not required to do so.
This is a quote by the NFL: "NFL Vice President of Football Operations Merton Hanks notified Ndamukong Suh today that he has been suspended without pay for the Lions' next two games for his unsportsmanlike conduct in the Lions-Packers game on Thanksgiving Day. It was Suh's fifth violation of on-field rules in the past two seasons that has resulted in league discipline. Suh may not practice or be at the team practice facility for any other activities during the two-game suspension. He will be reinstated on December 12. Under the CBA, the suspension may be appealed within three business days. If appealed, an expedited hearing and decision would take place this week in advance of this weekend's games."
In my opinion, I liked the actions of Suh. It shows a new era of Detroit Lions being a fearless team. I like the fact they are almost feared as a dirty team by the other teams in the league. I also liked the fact that his Lions teammates talked to him after the incident about controlling their emotions for the sake of the team. Not only does this prove how fearless the Lions are becoming but that there is leadership in that locker room. The Detroit Lions are going to be a top team for many years to come if they can keep their current core of players healthy and on the field.
