Three Questions: Real Salt Lake vs Sounders

Sounder at Heart: Obviously, Mike Petke is dominating the headlines in Salt Lake. First being suspended, then getting fired, and then issuing a lame apology. Are you glad to see him go? Can you tell me a little bit about the next steps following his departure?

RSL Soapbox: I wouldn’t say I’m glad to see Petke go, but it was very much the right choice for the club to make. Regardless if Petke meant to use that word as a homophobic slur, and I don’t see how you could miss that, the anger issues that cause a coach to berate a ref on the field, in the tunnel, and slip a note under the ref’s locker room door are a huge problem.
