Week 7 of the Major League Soccer season ended on a terrible note, after New York Red Bulls midfielder Kaku kicked a ball into the stands at Children’s Mercy Park, hitting a spectator in the process.
Kaku was sent off for the incident in the 94th minute of the Red Bulls’ 2-2 draw with Sporting Kansas City.

After the game, Red Bulls players went over to check on the fan at Children’s Mercy Park.

On Monday morning, the Red Bulls issued a statement regarding the incident.
“The New York Red Bulls organization does not condone the type of behavior displayed near the end of Sunday night’s match in Kansas City,” the statement read. “We hold everyone in our organization to a high standard of conduct. The matter will continue to be discussed internally and we will have no further comment at this time.”
Kaku issued an apology of his own through Twitter on Sunday night.

Although he addressed the situation right away with an apology, the midfielder likely faces a multiple-game suspension for his actions.
This is pretty serious bad behavior. I think up to a 6 month suspension could be justified.
It sucks being a Sporting Deportivo Real Futbol Club of Kansas City fan.
Just like it sucks being a compulsive troll, right Rob?
First of all, it is the Sporks.
Second, of all, how does it suck, they are always good. Vermes one of the best maangers in the game.
Third, it was the Red Bulls player that committed the terrible act.
if you are going to Troll people, do it with some degree of professionalism. nothing worse than a hack troll like Rob.
