The L.A. Galaxy have released midfielder Aleksandar Katai, two days after the team became aware of racist messages posted on a social media account belonging to his wife
Saints QB Drew Brees has apologized, but his commitment to change won’t be measured by how he supports blacks but, rather, how he challenges whites.
“It was very professional. I would not characterize it as tense at all,” Klein said of the meeting at Dignity Health Sports Park, which also included general manager Dennis te Kloese, coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto and technical director Jovan Kirovski. “He had a lot of hurt and remorse and was very understanding through this process.”
The first of Tea Katai’s posts was a screenshot from a video showing two New York City police officers driving their vehicles through a crowd of demonstrators with a caption, in Serbian, that translates as “kill the s—s!” The second showed an apparent looter with boxes of Nike shoes below English-language text reading “Black Nikes Matter.” The Associated Press reported Tea Katai also wrote another post in Serbian that described the protesters as “disgusting cattle.
“There are a lot of things that didn’t make the decision very easy. But we have an obligation to represent the values that we’ve upheld,” he said. “Everyone makes mistakes. But in the end we have to look at what the club stands for and who were are.”
