Last night the U.S. international spilled the beans on social media, hopping on Instagram Live to complain about all things American soccer, and the former Galaxy midfielder had some choice words for LA fans.
Unfortunately, by posting the rant days after the team declined his option for next season, Jones’ poor choice of parting shots came across as bitter and petty.
It needs to be said: Like most Galaxy players, Jones was doomed for failure from the start, in part thanks to a front office who gifted Jermaine a ridiculously inflated contract. Even if Jones had performed well by all reasonable expectations, he never would have lived up to the deal, basically ensuring Jermaine would be scapegoated for the AJ DeLaGarza trade and if/when the team ultimately failed to win.
