GIF: Clint Dempsey Gets 2 Game Ban For Slapping Opponent In The Nuts

Clint Dempsey has been banned for two MLS games after he smacked Toronto's Mark Bloom in the nuts during a game on Saturday. Dempsey did not receive a card during the game but has now been retrospectively punished.

Dempsey’s games out: 3/22 at Montréal (on Olympic Stadium’s bad turf) and 3/29 vs. Columbus.

Going after an opponent's gonads appears to be a bit of a thing in the MLS.
