Romeo Parkes issues apology for the kick that felled Karl Ouimette

He is sorry.

The Pittsburgh Riverhounds and (occasionally) Jamaica national team forward Romeo Parkes was having a pretty good season in USL until May 7, when something caused him to lose his mind and kick Karl Ouimette in the back without any apparent restraint.

The 25-year-old has, however, managed to hold down a relatively steady career as a professional soccer player since 2009, in Jamaica, El Salvador, and now the USA. He wouldn't be quite so regularly employed if he was prone to the sort of on-field violence he unleashed on Ouimette.
