Why ban players?
Player bans are a common disciplinary measure in football, used to punish serious fouls, unsporting behaviour, or, as in this story, involvement in a scuffle. The aim is to deter future misconduct, uphold the integrity of the game, and protect players. Bans can range from a single match to many games, depending on the severity.
