Family: The reason Marin wanted to go home

It will be easy to criticize Marin's time in Kansas City but not the reason he wanted to go home

Sporting Kansas City announced they had mutually agreed with goalkeeper Luis Marin to terminate his contract Wednesday morning. The first assumption by most was that he was not performing well and was upset with losing the starting spot to backup Tim Melia. Maybe the Chilean keeper had developed an attitude and needed to be gone?

According to manager Peter Vermes, that was not the case at all.

"He had a personal family issue that came up," Vermes explained.
