D.C. United terminates contract with Taxi Fountas over racial slur allegations
D.C. United and forward Taxi Fountas have mutually agreed to terminate his contract after Major League Soccer (MLS) found "credible allegations" that he used a racial slur against a teammate. This is the second time Fountas has been investigated for such allegations. The league did not punish him in a previous incident due to lack of conclusive evidence. Fountas had commissioned a polygraph test to clear his name but has not publicly commented on the contract termination. D.C. United now has a designated player spot open, and they may consider signing a free agent to fill the void.
