Maybe it’s because I’m not *from* Missouri originally but I’d rather drive 20 more minutes to get to a sports game than be on the hook for billions of taxpayer funded dollars for some of the richest people in the country when we have so many more pressing issues to address 🤷♂️

Absolutely grim stuff in this thoroughly-reported piece from Tanner (the list of allegations of sexist and racist remarks, with many witnesses, is long), from the Union as a club, and in terms of MLS's ability to deal with situations like this.
NEW: Ernst Tanner has built a powerhouse at the Philadelphia Union.
But my @us.theguardian.com investigation has shown wide-ranging allegations of misbehavior throughout his 7-year tenure.
Tanner denies the allegations, and was investigated by MLS this year.
