Galaxy cut Katai after wife’s posts

The Galaxy released midfielder Aleksandar Katai, two days after the team became aware of inflammato­ry messages posted on a social media account belonging to his wife.

Tea Katai’s posts, which have been taken down, appeared to make light of the protests and looting that occurred in the wake of George Floyd’s death while in police custody last week in Minneapoli­s.
