Where to draw the line?

Recently Collin Clark, Houston Dynamo Mid-fielder, call a ball boy a “F#@king f$%got” on national television because the ball boy dropped the ball at his feet, rather then putting it in his hands.

Really Mr. Clark? Classy. Forget the fact that the cameras were on to catch the slur for the moment: You need to scream at a teenage kid on the sidelines? Grow up.

On the latest episode of Extra Time Radio, Simon Borg claim that is was no big deal… Give him a small fine, a slap on the wrist… No suspension. This doesn’t surprise me a bit. Mr. Borg also didn’t think that Luis Suarez’s Racially abusive comments warranted much of a response. Borg claims that people say all kinds of mean and nasty things to each other on the field. He claims it is a commonly used tactic to get your opponent off their game. He asks the question where should we draw the line? How about we draw the line right between F#@king and f$%got? It’s not the f bomb that is the problem, it’s the homophobic slur.

I’m thrilled MLS has decided to give Clark a 3 game suspension. I’m proud to support a league that doesn’t put up with such ridiculousness.

Unacceptable, plain and simple.
