Rapids goalkeeper Tim Howard broke his silence on Friday regarding his incidents with fans after a game at Sporting Kansas City two weeks ago that cost him a three-game suspension.
In a Facebook post, Howard spent one paragraph apologizing for obscenities he exchanged with SKC fans, writing, “I am at fault and certainly not a victim in this incident.” The remaining four paragraphs told his side of the story and argued for better security to protect players from fans.
“After reviewing the incident in Kansas City, my league and my team chose to admonish me and suspend me for almost 10 percent of the season, but they did not say a word about the fan’s antagonistic behavior or the negligent security,” Howard wrote.
