Déjà vu: MLS has a Taxi Fountas problem

Related Topics: Taxiarchis Fountas, D.C. United

Once again, Taxi Fountas is being accused of racial slurs.

When Taxi Fountas joined DC United, becoming their highest-paid player, fans were hopeful of seeing their star man in the headlines for years to come.

Headlines have come, but they are testing the notion that all publicity is good publicity.

For the second time in as many seasons, the Greek international is accused of being an ignorant bigot. Reports suggest Fountas directed a racial slur at a teammate, Nigel Robertha. Roberta, in turn, attacked Fountas. Both Fountas and Robertha have been suspended for “violations of league policy”.
