Should Messi have been suspended for skipping the 2026 MLS All-Star Game?

In late July 2026, Lionel Messi skipped the MLS All-Star Game — the same offense that earned him a one-match ban in 2024. This time MLS chose not to suspend the 38-year-old, citing a post–World Cup recovery window after Argentina’s grueling run at the tournament. Supporters argue the league is right to protect its biggest attraction, and that a tired GOAT is no use to anyone in a playoff race. Critics say the attendance rule is now openly bendable for one player, handing every other MLS star a template to skip out. If the rule doesn’t apply to Messi, does it really apply to anyone?
