I love Zlatan and what he brings to the league, but you can't let him get away with shit like that, and I am glad MLS didn't.

Why would he have gotten anything? What did he do that was even remotely deserving of supplemental discipline?
A bruised neck.
A quiet, satisfied chuckle while relaxing afterwards in his lair.
His Yellow should be rescinded.
Nope. He initiated the contact with the chest bump. Ibra lost his head, but Johnson created the situation.
Should've been a straight red.
For having man bun.
This is correct.
Johnson's phrase "he's a clever boy" could really be more applied to Johnson than Ibra in this situation. Johnson quite purposefully knocked into him after the play was over - nothing major - but, enough to piss off Ibra, which I imagine was part of the plan. It succeeded. This doesn't excuse what Ibra did, but it should be acknowledged.
I think you can make an argument that way, but I don't it really makes sense for NYCFC to try to appeal it (or if you can appeal it). You only get two incorrect appeals every season and I seriously doubt Johnson is going to be ever in danger of a yellow card suspension.
