Carra suspended for season

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher will be off air for the rest of the season as a Sky television soccer analyst after being filmed spitting in the direction of a 14-year-old girl through his car window. Sky says 鈥渂efore the start of the next season we will sit down with Jamie to discuss whether he is ready to return to his role鈥. Carragher was suspended on Monday and that was extended yesterday until the season ends in May. The new English Premier League campaign opens in August. The spitting incident happened after Carragher worked on Sky鈥檚 broadcast of Manchester United鈥檚 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford on Saturday. Carragher claims he was goaded by the driver and some of his spit hit the United fan鈥檚 daughter. The 40-year-old apologized to the family and to Sky Sports, calling his behavior awful and a 鈥渕oment of madness鈥.
