FIFA, who is touted by financial pundits as a sponsor-reliant nonprofit entity with a rainy day fund of $1.4 billion in cash, has policies in place for players who wish to capitalize their screen time in matches by subtly showing off symbols, images or anything that links to their personal or club sponsors.
Daily Mail said senior Adidas officials were reportedly engaged in an emergency meeting on Thursday following the ban issuance to work out a position on the controversial football player. It has been said that Adidas has already dropped Suarez from all of its commercial activities for the rest of this year's World Cup and has already planned high-level talks with the player and his representatives at the end of the tournament.
Although the punishment was not as grave as the maximum penalty FIFA could impose based on its disciplinary code, the ban itself could threaten the Uruguayan's career after the World Cup. This means that Suarez would be missing 13 Liverpool games aside from the ones Uruguay would be playing in the tournament, Daily Mail explained.
