Chris Jericho Suspended For Causing International Incident (No Joke)

Woke up this morning and found this “gem” from WWE.com posted through third-parties.

Chris Jericho as been suspended indefinitely due to an irresponsible act of denigrating the Brazilian flag at a WWE live event in São Paulo on May 24. WWE has apologized to the citizens and the government of Brazil for this incident.

For those who are unaware, Chris Jericho apparently kicked a Brazilian flag during a match with CM Punk and thus was forced to apologize for the incident or risk going to jail… because apparently flag kicking is a crime in Brazil. You would think that Chris Jericho or even WWE would know about stuff like this before venturing into new territory. Oh well, at least Jericho got to keep his job. Committing a national crime is apparently still a lesser violation that choking a ring announcer with a tie or spitting on the franchise player.

So Bradshaw does a mock Nazi salute and goosestep… he gets a WWE Title run…

Jericho kicks a flag… he gets a suspension…

Yeah, that sounds fair.
