He seems to be in some kind of downward spiral. Hope he's mentally ok.

This incident happened almost 8 months ago... but conveniently after he leaves man united the FA finally grew a spine to punish him.

Sure, but that investigation concluded in August. Before the new season started... Not that banning him then would have made any difference since he hardly featured for the team anyway.

Now that he’s gonna leave England the FA give him a completely unenforceable 2 match ban

Kudos to the mom for not giving into the ‘star-struck’ ideology and giving Ronaldo a serious ripping. She has me quite impressed.

Anyone remember when Eric Cantona dropped kicked a fan who was 3 or 4 rows back during a Man U game in the 90s?

It's not unenforceable, suspensions usually carry over from one league to another

ie when Joey Barton was sent off in the Aguerooooooooo game and moved to Marseille in the summer, he was given 12 games ban by the English FA and had to serve the suspension in Ligue 1

[having been sent off in a game at Crystal Palace] As he was walking towards the tunnel, Cantona launched a 'kung-fu' style kick into the crowd, directed at Palace supporter Matthew Simmons, who had run down 11 rows of stairs to confront and shout abuse at Cantona. Simmons was alleged to have used the words "Fuck off back to France, you French bastard"

In accordance with The FA's wishes, United's initial action was to fine Cantona £20,000 for the assault and to confirm that he would not play for the first team for the rest of the season, although United were still in the hunt for a second double.[61][62] He was also stripped of the captaincy of the France national team by coach Aimé Jacquet. The FA then increased the ban to eight months (up to and including 30 September 1995) and fined him a further £10,000.[63] The FA Chief Executive Graham Kelly described his attack as "a stain on our game" that brought shame on football. FIFA then confirmed the suspension as worldwide, meaning that Cantona could not escape the ban by being transferred or loaned to a foreign club.[64] Cantona never played for the French national team again.[65] His club eventually lost the Premier League title to Blackburn

He was also given a criminal record for it (I think in the end it was community service)

So I think he received his fair share of punishment and consequence from his actions. The lack of game time is probably the only thing keeping some players from repeating the act against some of the utter dickheads that stand hurling abuse in the crowds.

I love how people act surprised when these athletes that have literally never led a normal life, never even had a real job, have been heralded as a hero since youth, turn out to be spoiled twats.

I've also heard from a dude named Mendez, that he is a fantastic presence in the locker room, and that he respects everyone he works with! Also som Kristian Bronaldo, with a fake mustache and glasses, said the exact same about him! Clearly he was and undercover spy, working behind the scenes in United, and would know!

Haha what a loser. It's funny when so-called famous people lose their shit in unjustified ways. If anyone that fine should have half a dozen more zeros added to it at minimum.

If he wants to keep playing, he should made to kneel before the fan and beg for forgiveness on international television.

Dude is likely never going to play in the EPL again... so the match ban is purely for show.

Fan’s phone gets smashed. Most fan gets is a new phone.

Whoever fined him isn’t even relevant and they get away with $50,000.
