On July 26, the official news from the 38-year-old Messi was suspended for one game because he refused to participate in the 2016 All-Star Game. Messi was very angry about the decision of the US League. However, American reporters said that Messi was completely guilty of his own fault. This week, the FAF held its annual All-Star Game. As the league's number one star, Messi was naturally selected into the All-Star lineup without any suspense. However, Messi did not participate in the competition because he had participated in too many games before and wanted to have a good rest while he was in the All-Star period. This is Messi's second consecutive year of missing the All-Star Game. According to the regulations of the American League, players privately miss the All-Star Game without being approved and need to be suspended for one game. Today, the US League of Commerce issued an official announcement of the decision to suspend Messi. USF Chairman Don Garber said this was a very difficult decision: "No one has contributed more to USF than Messi. I respect and understand Messi's commitment to Miami International. Unfortunately, USF has its own regulations and we must implement them." Messi was very angry at the result of his suspension. Jorge Mas, one of Miami International's bosses, revealed: "Messi just got the news and his reaction was a bit negative. He was very upset. Messi was very unhappy, but this matter would not affect Messi's contract renewal." Regarding Messi's dissatisfaction with the news that he was dissatisfied with the BJF, American journalist Franco Panizo posted a public rebuttal. He emphasized: "Messi knows the consequences of not participating in the All-Star, but he still doesn't play. He can't blame others for this result, he can only blame himself." Another reporter, Favian Renkel, also said: "The FC has made the right decision. Rules are rules. Messi has indeed brought the FC more attention, but he cannot be above the rules."
