Andrew Carleton was suspended for MLS Cup due to violating club policy

Atlanta United’s MLS Cup victory celebrations on Saturday noticeably lacked a certain 18-year-old Powder Springs native. Fans and media alike have been wondering where Andrew Carleton was during the post-match elation after the Five Stripes defeated the Portland Timbers, 2-0.

Rumors emerged that Carleton’s absence could be for a social media post that was posted the night before the big final:

Surprised more #ATLUTD fans didn't notice - Carleton was out partying the night before the big match. And he posted it on his Snapchat. That's didn't go over well w/Tata, and it wouldn't have gone over well w/most other coaches, either.
