Please discuss if you think this punishment is too harsh, or if it's appropriate, due to the gravity of the situation.
Also, what is the impact of this case over gambling industry?
I’ve always been in support of harsh punishment for those athletes who still seek out bribes despite the huge amount they receive as payment from their clubs.
To me, I don’t think this punishment is too harsh - if they decide to be lenient on the players who indulge in this type of behavior I’m sure other too would still do it because in the end the punishment they’ll recieve is not that severe so they’ll do it anyway knowing that they are capable of withstanding the punishment that follows unlike this type of punishment that has to do with life ban.
