Major League Soccer suspends Real Salt Lake coach Mike Petke for two games, fines him $10,000 following last week’s postgame rant in Minnesota

During an interview on ESPN 700 Wednesday morning, Real Salt Lake’s flagship radio station, RSL’s head coach revealed that MLS levied a two-game suspension and a $10,000 fine in the wake of his epic postgame rant following RSL’s 3-2 loss at Minnesota United on Saturday evening.

“It was a bit more than I expected,” Petke said. “I got a two-game suspension and a $10,000 fine. But it is what it is. I accept that. I look back on it and it wasn’t a situation that I’m saying, ‘Oh, I don’t want to say certain things because I might get fined.
