NY Red Bulls forward Luke Rodgers avoided a disaster of his own making by no more than a few inches last night during the first half of an MLS playoff game against the LA Galaxy. Rodgers kicked a ball out of bounds that nearly hit a woman standing behind the advertising board directly in the face.
Rodgers scored the first goal of the match 4 minutes into the game, but received a yellow card a minute later. Two minutes after that, Rodgers approached the ball near the sideline and kicked a laser shot out of bounds, seemingly out of frustration. However, the replay shows the ball narrowly avoiding hitting the innoncent woman in the face, which certainly would have gotten Rodgers a red card.
Rodgers will now have an entire offseason to deal with his anger management issues, as the Red Bulls lost the match to the Galaxy 2-1 and were eliminated from the MLS playoffs.
