"Emotional as well. Went to the sideline. You know, spoke with feel a little bit and we made the decision that we're not going to continue until something was done with that player. And if nothing was done, then we weren't going to continue. I think Phil spoke with the opposing coach. When they decided to take the player off, so that's what happened. Taxi fun test has posted this on Instagram. He said, I did not use the word. I'm being accused of using that despicable racial slur is one I denounce and did not use. We had a hot discussion on the field, but I have not racially abused anyone. I firmly reject racism in any form. It is despicable. I have many friends from many cultures. I always respect the culture, religion, and skin color of each person. I am therefore very upset by this accusation and sudden to be falsely accused. Sebastian Salazar is now joining us to discuss the incident further. Thanks for being with us. What's the latest on the whole situation? And as a D.C. United fan, how do you feel about it all? Well, MLS will investigate the league saying in a statement they have zero tolerance for this kind of thing, which you would expect. There is some precedent here, as far as this is concerned in Major League Soccer a year ago, there was an incident with Diego Chara Portland timbers player who was allegedly racially abused by Minnesota United player Franco Fraga pana in that case MLS investigated they couldn't corroborate what was said on the field and so there was no suspension, but according to what we just heard there from not just Deandre yedlin, but Phil Neville himself. It sounds like there's going to be plenty of people that can corroborate what was said or what wasn't said on this field. So I'd be expecting a big suspension. Obviously as a D.C. United fan, it's an incredible disappointment. I hope the league and the club will do their due diligence, look through what happened here, but if they can confirm these allegations, it's just another dark cloud hanging over this team. It's been a brutal season and taxi fun to us was one of the bright spots in that brutal season. He was a guy who came in midway through the campaign, got off to a great start as a DP, but obviously I think as a fan anyway, it's going to be really hard to root for this player if these allegations are corroborated. So you obviously you've alluded to what you think is going to happen there, said, what do you expect to happen next? What are the next steps? Well, MLS will do their investigation. Then I think it's just a matter of if they can corroborate it, which again, it sounds like what we're hearing from the inter Miami side at least. They will be able to. It's a matter of how long will that suspension be? I'm trying to think of kind of comparables. We saw Sebastian legit get just a two game suspension for a homophobic slur that he was caught using. But we've also seen cases like deloy Hansen, the owner for rail saw Lake, who eventually lost his team over allegations of racism. So there's a lot of gray area there for what MLS could do here. I'll tell you this. D.C. United has two games left in their regular season. I can't imagine that we will see taxi playing for D.C. united again. This season, again, that's if these allegations are corroborated by Major League Soccer. And I would be very surprised if he starts next season. This would probably be a very lengthy suspension, one that lasts into the next campaign for D.C. United. And something we saw there as well Shaka was that the players and the coaches have taken things into their own hands there and saying that we're not going to continue if he continues on the pitch. And I thought that was a sensible approach by the players and to the service point as much as you expect MLS will have their investigation. I despite what tax advantage may be seeing on social media. I'm not sure how he gets away with this. Given that other players from inter Miami corroborated, what was said or allegedly said, given the fact that both marriages came together on the sidelines and he was substituted, the referees couldn't take any further action because they hadn't heard it themselves. But as far as president gauze, we are two weeks short of two years to the D, junior Fleming, but playing in the USL for Phoenix rising was accused of using a hobo for mcslug against Colin Martin. Donovan was in charge of San Diego loyal at the time. And they refused to come back on the pitch. They forfeited the game, but he stood by his player who said that that junior Fleming had user a homophobic slur against him. Junior Fleming was suspended 6 games. So at the very least, that is where that is your precedent. To semi's point, we will not. Be seeing him again this season, two games, and we won't see him for the first, as I say. At the very least, first four or 5 games of next season either. Fantastic has that to look forward to despite what he may be claiming. The league have also said their own mark. There are zero zero tolerance policy league and we expect them to act as such. Because that's what we are dealing with these days as well. Players can make a statement themselves. They can push that pressure to it, and that's always been a good thing to say. Thanks so much for being with us. We'll keep everybody up to date with what happens

"You can ignore the other accusations that resulted in his firing. I mean, to me, you can't separate one from the other, but that was the position that the thorns took. And Riley was hired 5 months later by the western New York flash and eventually moved down to Carolina with the team when they were relocated. So Jeff, it feels like things are kind of piling up in Portland when it comes to these situations. We've got the aforementioned. We've got the handling of the Andy polo situation with the Portland timbers. We've got the oregonian report about a toxic work environment, especially for female employees. How far are we away from potential discussions about potentially a change in ownership in Portland? I asked that again, just basically thinking back to what we've seen in the past, but they all Salt Lake deloy Hansen and RSL and the real monarchs. Well, I mean, outwardly, it appears that the rules are not the same for everybody. Obviously, Deloitte Hanson did what he did. He made the comments that he made. He oversaw toxic work environment with rial Salt Lake. And eventually he was forced to sell the team. But I think Don Garber back in February, right before the start of the season, I mean, he said the quiet part out loud. I mean, the league very much values Hank Paulson, Merritt's father, and Colson's a former US Treasury secretary. Investment bank executive, the league really values his contribution at board meetings just in terms of the future direction of the league. And so I think that's kind of current ownership's ace in the hole. I mean, those owners in Portland are valued to a degree that I don't think delroy Hanson was. And so at this point, I would be surprised that the league took that step, but again, we'll see what happens and we'll see what kinds of discussions are going on behind closed doors. Hey, Jeff, before we let you go, you know, 79, we're actually in Orlando for the USA book final. And the big story, at least pregame, was spy gate, apparently allegedly, I should say, or I guess it's not even alleged. It was confirmed an employee of Orlando city was caught spine a Sacramento republic, training session. You were on top of this tweeting all about it. What came about this, what do you know as of now? Well, within the U.S. open cup committee, that's inside the U.S. soccer federation. There is a adjudication and disciplinary panel and basically any kind of complaint or protest that is made in relation to a U.S. open cup match is forwarded onto them. I reached out to U.S. soccer earlier today. They told me that there's going to be hopefully that the goal is for them to meet later this week. But I think at some point, now it's not a question of whether they will meet. I mean, it's just a question of when. And then we'll see what that panel decides. I mean, I don't think at this point the game is going to be forfeited or anything like that. I mean, the game has been played in Orlando one. But it would not surprise me if there was some kind of fine, some kind of light sanction just to kind of get the message across that what was done is not okay. And shouldn't be repeated in the future. But it will also be interesting to see if the USSF takes some steps to arrange for training facilities for visiting teams in the latter stages of the competition. My understanding is that Sacramento had to find a facility on their own. It was a holiday weekend. I think there might have been a little home cooking involved in terms of fields being made available or not being made available. So I think in the future, it would probably behoove the USSF to just make those arrangements themselves and. Eliminate the possibility of something like this happening again. Home cooking, that's what you get when you host the U.S. open Cup final. There he is. Jeff Carlyle of ESPN dot com Jeff. Thanks as always for joining us here on football Americas.
