Social media exploded with reactions. One loud voice belonged to a well-known media personality who insisted the call was wrong from the start. He claimed he knew all along the ban would be overturned and even joked about his own expertise in sports rules.

One even used a mashup of fight scenes and sports hits set to a popular song, making the moment feel like a big event.
