The New York Red Bulls and forward Dante Vanzeir apologized Monday after Vanzeir used a racial slur during their match with the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night.
Earthquakes striker Jeremy Ebobisse said after their 1-1 draw Saturday night in New Jersey that an unnamed Red Bulls player used a racial slur in the second half of their match — which led to a lengthy delay and almost caused the Earthquakes to walk off the pitch altogether. Ebobisse said they remained in the game because the slur wasn’t directed at anybody in particular.
