Nigeria’s President Bans Soccer After S**tty World Cup Performance

Damn…talk about a stiff penalty for sucking.

Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Johnathan, (Yes, that is his real name) has decided to suspend International play for Nigeria’s soccer team after a disappointing World Cup finish. Nigeria finished group play by going 0-2-1 losing to Argentina and Greece, and tying with South Korea.

The President said that the reason for the suspension is so they can focus on reorganizing their team. Which, in my opinion, sounds like the opposite of what you would want to do. Last time I checked, I have never heard of a team actually getting better after they stop playing with each other. Hence why most teams struggle at the beginning of seasons only to improve as the season goes on. It’s called team chemistry.

Could you imagine if American sports did something like this? The Pirates, Clippers, and Lions would have been suspended a long ass time ago.

I also think it is hilarious that Nigeria is getting around the same punishment for sucking as USC is getting for giving it’s players free houses. Maybe we could learn a thing or two about how to punish people here in the states.
