MLS suspends Mullan an additional nine games (10 total)

[MrCoffee]

And a $5,000 fine, which isn't a small amount for an MLS player. EDIT: I did some checking and Mullan made around $180K last year. Screw him.

I think 10 is just right.

"The Committee felt the egregious nature of the foul and the severity of the injury warranted the discipline issued," executive vice president of competition and game operations Nelson Rodriguez said in a statement. "The Committee believes the challenge showed an utter disregard for Zakuani's safety.

"In making this decision, the Committee took several factors into account: the timing of the challenge, the location on the field, the moments immediately before the challenge where it is clear that Mullan is frustrated and the severity of Zakuani's injury"

The MLS Players' Union will not appeal the decision.

1. Agreed..

I think 10 is about right. Voted in the poll, and most folks seem to feel the same way. Mullan has plenty of time to look into the counseling the Rapids claim he needs now. Man, and now I've got Stan Kroenke taking over Arsenal..
