lifetime ban on soccer players and officials for gambling

[bitterguy28]

china has banned a total of 43 sport officials and players for involving themselves with match fixings and bribery

41 clubs were involved and 120 matches were fixed this made me rethink my view on the possibility of some of international matched being fixed and the winner being decided even before the game starts this news may question china's credibility of producing not only talented but righteous players and teams

do you think a lifetime ban is appropriate or is it too severe?

Lifetime ban seem cruel already all for bribing. But this is for their Panda league so it's their rules and it's their business. But looks like they are fair in cracking down since even the Chinese players are among those banned.

In most olympic games, Chinese players are often the ones who gets gold but I'm not sure if they are good in soccer.

Their Panda what?

You missed the part about prison sentences for some cases:

In August, a former vice president of the national football association was sentenced to 11 years in prison for accepting bribes, and a former director of the competition department was sentenced to seven years imprisonment for the same offense.

Fairly appropriate, it should make people think twenty times not twice before fixing a match, no matter how unimportant that is!

Certainly before the punishment was determined, they had been investigated in depth how serious their violations were because they had arranged the match to bribery. I think this is a fair punishment according to what applies there.

Things like this are things that really hurt football, this is also actually an enemy for football lovers, because the match that should have run normally had to change and even the results were already known before the match took place.

A lifetime ban is appropriate. There are laws against match fixing, and any player or official found guilty should face the consequences. Match fixing has an impact on the sport's integrity because the outcomes are no longer a true reflection of team strength, and gamblers are always affected in the long run. This explains why gamblers continue to lose despite their efforts to research and make predictions.

This decision to impose a lifetime ban will deter other corrupt officials and players from engaging in match fixing, thereby helping to restore the sport's integrity in China. Without severe sanctions, it will be difficult to deter officials and players from engaging in match fixing. Humans can be kept under control to a large extent when there are severe penalties for wrongdoing.

China has serious laws against bribery, many people have been sentenced to death for bribery, these officials are lucky to just be getting away with a lifetime ban.

Punishments like this will often serve as warning to other officials who may want to consider following the same path.

[salad daging]

It is clear that match-fixing is strictly prohibited and if some players are caught being bribed then a lifetime ban is still appropriate for him.
China usually has strict rules against bribery, even corruption is punishable by death there that I know of so from this especially with many incidents where many players are involved including officials in match-fixing then this is bad for Chinese football.

Just about right. Game officials and players have no business in any professional sports if they bet for or against their games. It's either they play or just become an audience that gambles. It's true that they may change and work straight but for the integrity of the sport, it's better not to allow them back. You can no longer trust their judgement.

it seems like they aren’t

it is one of the most popular sports in their country but i have seen many people discussing how bad china is at soccer and the sport has become almost like a cash grab at this point it is disappointing because these athletes are supposed to represent and uplift their country but the whole bribery scandal has tainted the image of the sport in their country even further

Life time ban was very very appropriate alot of people most have placed bets on that game and lost but they made alot of profits because they already knew the outcome of the game
It's unfair to the spectators

Game fixing is what ruins any sport, so sports organizations are imposing lifetime ban to coaches and players and I agree with that, When you are part of a sports organizations, the organization expects you to play at high level because you are building the sport, and the fans and the community trust that you give all you've got for their entertainment, I call this a betrayal of trust fromgame fixers.

If such discipline is not taking into action they would be a possibility to repeat that again in the future, so lifetime ban serves them better to also put fear on the upcoming coming clubs and at least they have sat a records for the newer and already existing clubs not to compromised in any of their activity.
If any other nation can emulate what China has done, then it would be fine and it also discourage more people from trying that nonsense happening around the sports industry generally.

I think banning them for atleast a year is enough but lifetime I don't know depends on the severity of their violations. For me if I had the chance to give penalty I think 1-3 years will make them regret and do the right thing next time. Sometimes I am also wondering if these kinds of violations are more of a syndicate because I can also feel it in international sport competition especially combat sports.

Credible players based on reputation or players that would deliver their teams to winnings?
I think those players were actually worth to be dismissed from the football because one man interest should not supercede the glory of a whole nation because if they actually played rightful probably to the victory of their teams then the crown as a team would always be golden than the peanut taken as individual bribery.

So if such dismissal penalty is implied for such players involved in fixed matches the honest truth is that others approaching to that betrayal move would repatriate.

There should not be cheating in the game or football especially when you are being invested on the potential of retuning victory to your teams.

do you think a lifetime ban is appropriate or is it too severe?

Yes, especially if they make themselves lose or play poorly on purpose. In addition, some organization or government outside china also give similar punishment. Although i would say it's too severe if there's proof that some player or official got coerced to participate in such action.
