In the days following President Mohamed Morsi's ouster by the military, there was debate over whether what happened constituted a coup—Morsi was, after all, democratically elected—or whether he was kicked out by a popular uprising.

Sources have indicated he faces a 150-game suspension—the maximum—or even a lifetime ban. Read it at CBS NY REALLY 5. Repeal John Boehner!
