Ramsey has two young children with Tate’s sister, and Tate was publicly upset last year when the couple went through a nasty public breakup. Ramsey and Tate both walked toward midfield when the game ended, and they immediatel­y took swings at each other, eventually going to the turf in a heap. The veterans’ teammates pulled them apart.
