Mike Petke suspended two games, fined $10,000 for post-game interview

Just four days after one of the most epic rants in MLS history, wherein Mike Petke called out the referees for poor officiating, Petke revealed to Bill Riley on ESPN700 today that MLS has fined him a sum of $10,000 and suspended him for two games.

On Tuesday, Petke tweeted a confirmation that his bank account had certainly been drained, but didn’t disclose any details or further information.

Then today in an interview with ESPN700 host Bill Riley, Petke disclosed the information we were all waiting to hear. “It was a bit more than I expected; I got a two-game suspension and a $10,00 fine,” he said.
