Disgusting behavior. š¤®ā£

Buckle up for this one: On August 23rd, Federico HiguaĆn was coaching MLSā Columbus Crew second division team when he disagreed with a call made by the female referee and violently grabbed her hand, refused to let go, and said, āDonāt forget, this is a manās game.ā š« ā£
ā£
HiguaĆn was immediately sent off and received a two-match ban, a punishment the Professional Soccer Referees Association did not think was strict enough. šā£
ā£
After public backlash and nearly a month of internal review, the Crew fired HiguaĆn on Tuesday. Rather long for an ownership group that is about to start a womenās team⦠šā£
