Houston's Colin Clarke lashes out at a ball boy

Yep. That's right. In that video you hear Houston's Colin Clarke calling the ball boy a "fucking faggot". Some heard the slur but were unsure of whether or not Clarke was the source, but his tweets apologizing for the incident confirm that he was:

Apparently what fueled the incident was a controversial throw-in call, where the ball had been given to Houston despite the ball appearing to have come off of Clark last. As Clark went to take the throw he raised his hand in expectation that the ball would be thrown to him but the boy rolled it him instead. Seems an awfully petty reason for that sort of verbal abuse, doesn't it?

UPDATE: After review by the Discipline Committee, Major League Soccer has suspended Clarke for three matches and received a fine of an undisclosed amount. It has also ben mandated by Don Garber that he attend diversity and sensitivity training. This certainly sends the message that behavior like Clarke's is not to be tolerated.
