Colorado Rapids goalkeeper Tim Howard apologized for his comments directed toward a Sporting Kansas City supporter that resulted in a three-game suspension from Major League Soccer, but he lamented the lack of attention paid to the opposing fan's "antagonistic behavior" and the "negligent security."
The longtime United States international posted a statement on his official Facebook page Friday to provide more clarity about his stance on the incident:
We all want passionate fans but there is a line that shouldn't be crossed. It is not ok for an apparently drunk fan to get inches away from an athlete's face and yell obscenities at them.
