USL suspends Junior Flemmings for homophobic slur, Mesut Ozil to pay Gunnarsaurus’ salary, and more: Freedom Kicks for October 7, 2020

Happy D.C. United day, everyone. The Black-and-Red take on New York City FC tonight (7:00pm, WJLA 24/7 News, dcunited.com), and we still have an entire team on the injured list. Let’s hope for a turnaround. First, the news...

Junior Flemmings of Phoenix Rising was suspended 6 games for use of a homophobic slur against former D.C. United Homegrown Player and current San Diego Loyal midfielder Collin Martin. Punishment should be much stronger, honestly.

Mesut Ozil has offered to pay the salary of Gunnersaurus after Arsenal decided inexplicably to lay off the mascot (and the man who plays him).
