The MLS Disciplinary Committee has been at work again this week, handing out two suspensions and fines. In retrospect, one could see both of them coming and they're both well deserved.
First on the list MLS suspended FC Dallas star Brek Shea 3 games for intentionally kicking the ball at an assistant referee during the Hoops' 2-1 loss to Columbus at Crew Stadium. After being called for a foul, Shea kicked the ball at the AR and hit him in the stomach. He didn't kick the ball very hard, and the AR just stood there, but it was bone headed move by Shea. He has apologized and accepted responsibility for his actions. For Dallas fans hoping they might pull a fast one on the league, any games Shea misses while away with the US National Team will NOT count toward his suspension. He was also fined an undisclosed amount.
MLS also suspended Portland's Futty Danso for striking Houston's Calen Carr across the head in Tuesday's game at Houston. Danso will miss this weekend's match with the Chicago Fire. Oh, and say it with me now: "he was also fined an undisclosed amount."
