Marco Pappa stabbing incident happened after trade

Former Sounders midfielder was stabbed and hospitalized after incident involving former Miss Washington USA.

Details are slowly starting to emerge about a December incident that left Marco Pappa hospitalized with a stab wound and Miss Washington USA having to forfeit her crown.

Although the timeline of when exactly the stabbing occurred is not entirely clear, sources with knowledge of the situation have told Sounder at Heart that it happened after Pappa had been traded to the Colorado Rapids. This is a particularly relevant piece of information, as it would mean this situation was not connected to the decision to trade Pappa and, perhaps more importantly, would clear the Sounders of any potential coverup.
