ESPN– MLS suspended Colorado Rapids goalkeeper Tim Howard for three games and fined him an undisclosed amount on Friday for separate incidents last week involving fans in Kansas City. The league’s announcement said only that Howard, 38, was disciplined “for foul language directed toward a fan during the Rapids’ match against Sporting Kansas City and for an altercation with a fan following the game.”
First of all, what? Second of all What!?!? What the actual fuck? Let’s begin with one of the incidents. Tim Howard is goalkeeping against Sporting Kansas City, and a couple of fans start chirping him behind goal. Tim you can’t be baited by these guys, you just can’t. 34 regular season games, this surely can’t be the first time he’s ever been shit talked. And if you’re going to talk back to the fans, “go Fuck your mother,” isn’t the best trash talk out there. I mean you used to a GK for the most 5th most expensive team in the World. You played over 400 Premier League matches. Go fuck your mother is for 15 year old high school soccer teams. The MLS needs more, “STFU you MF!” or “Fuck off” something with pizzazz. Really a blow to the Manly-ness of Soccer in America.
The second thing I need to mention, MLS fans, this is a poor attempt to rattle the athletes. Go back to Colorado? Go back to your fucking house and rethink your shit talking strategy. Watch film. There’s the great Golden State lady,
