CNN —DC United and Taxi Fountas have “mutually agreed” to terminate the Greek forward’s contract after Major League Soccer found “credible allegations” that the 27-year-old used “prohibited and discriminatory language” against another player. Fountas was placed on administrative leave by MLS on July 21 following an incident allegedly involving United forward Nigel Robertha during DC’s game against the New England Revolution on July 15. “There is no place for racism, homophobia, misogyny, or discrimination of any kind in our sport and world and D.C. United does not tolerate any acts of this nature,” DC United said in a statement on Thursday. It is not the first time Fountas has faced allegations of using racist language. We stand in solidarity in holding individuals accountable for their actions, regardless of their position or contributions to the game.”
