The LA Galaxy condemned racist statements made on social media by winger Aleksandar Katai’s wife on Wednesday, pledging to meet with the player over the matter Thursday.
Tea Katai posted multiple statements on her instagram account, including one in which she encouraged police officers in an SUV to run over and “kill” protesters in New York City, and another where she mocked the Black Lives Matter movement.
Within hours, Galaxy fans had overwhelmingly condemned Tea Katai’s comments and demanded answers from the Galaxy, some calling for the player to receive sanction of some sort.
