"MLS Suspends Union's Kai Wagner 3 Games for Racial Slur Allegation"
TL;DR Summary
Philadelphia Union defender Kai Wagner has been suspended for three games by Major League Soccer (MLS) after allegedly directing a racial slur at New England Revolution's Bobby Wood during a playoff game. Wagner immediately admitted to using the slur, leading to a lighter punishment compared to a similar incident in 2023 involving Dante Vanzeir. The suspension will carry into next season if the Union are eliminated from the playoffs before it is served. Wagner is also required to participate in education and training sessions and comply with a program directed by a league-appointed restorative practices expert.
