Seattle Sounders FC have cut ties with former coach and broadcaster Alan Hinton after he posted a series of tweets on Monday, according to Jayda Evans of The Seattle Times.
Among the tweets sent out by Hinton, who was serving as a brand ambassador for the team, was one in which he described his attitude toward Black players during his playing days: "Love you if you help us win our bonuses." Hinton played at the top level of English soccer from 1961 to 1975.
Hinton previously said that he used question marks in all of his punctuations when he first joined Twitter in 2011, according to Evans, and he's since kept it up as a running joke.
