24直播网 11月01日讯 11月1日，24直播网独家报道：次日早上8时，美职联第33轮赛事中，迈阿密国际队将客场挑战新英格兰革命队。尽管梅西在前一轮比赛中领到个人本赛季第五张黄牌，理论上应停赛一场，但事实上他无需停赛。这得益于美职联长期实行的纪律规则，规定连续五场未受黄牌警告的球员，其黄牌计数将相应减少。美职联的这一特色举措，让梅西得以继续出战。
11月1日，24直播网报道，次日清晨8时，美职联第33轮赛事中，迈阿密国际队将客场挑战新英格兰革命队。尽管梅西在上轮比赛中领到本赛季的第5张黄牌，按规定本应停赛一场，但事实上他无需休战。这一情况得益于美职联长期实行的纪律规则，即连续五场比赛未受黄牌警告的球员，其累积黄牌数将相应减少。
美国职业足球联赛实施了“优秀表现激励政策”。
在连续五场比赛中，若球员未曾遭遇黄牌或红牌警告，亦未遭受额外惩罚，其累积黄牌计数将自动降低一张。然而，必须强调的是，累积黄牌计数不会降至零以下。所谓的“良好行为奖励”至多能将累积黄牌计数归零。在美职联常规赛的全赛季期间，这一奖励机制最多能够自动激活三次。
Upon receiving the third yellow card during the season, a player can have the penalty reduced by one if they participate in five consecutive matches without accumulating further cards or facing additional disciplinary actions. The player currently possesses two opportunities to earn a "good conduct reward" in the MLS regular season. Should this athlete remain unpenalized, avoiding both red and yellow cards as well as supplementary sanctions, in the subsequent five matches, their total yellow card tally would decrease by another. Consequently, they would hold just one yellow card and their final chance for the "good conduct reward."
奖项的“正派行为激励”仅在赛事落幕之际方始发挥效用。
在当前美职联赛季中，阿根廷球星梅西在29场赛事中遭遇了5次黄牌警告。然而，他凭借出色的表现，两次成功激活了“优良行为激励”条款，两次实现了连续五场赛事未受到黄牌、红牌或额外纪律制裁的佳绩。
得益于这两次黄牌减免，他的累积黄牌总数已经降低了两张。尽管如此，在辛辛那提队的比赛中获得的黄牌是他本季收到的第五张，按照官方累计黄牌计算，他目前仅有三张。这一数据表明，他尚未触及五张黄牌停赛的限制，因此他仍能在次日与新英格兰革命队的比赛中参赛。
Prior to the 2025 campaign, the United States' National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) also implemented a comparable rule. This marks another instance in North American soccer where disciplinary incentives are being utilized to foster ongoing commendable conduct among players.
