The soccer world was a witness to an out of the ordinary event that occurred during the New York Red Bulls vs. Houston Dynamo game.

Jorge Rojas was suspended for two games and fined $1000 for exhibiting disorderly conduct during the game. He elbowed Houston Dynamo's Midlfielder Bryan Mullan in the head followed by a heated argument with their goal keeper Pat Onsted.

He refused to leave the field in an orderly manner after his conduct.

The behavior of Rojas is unacceptable and goes against everything that Soccer stands for. The fact is that elbowing in the head just like the head butt could cause trauma to the brain. After all, the brain is the most sensitive area of the body with its multiple arteries and veins which controls all forms of movements and behaviour in the human body.

The MLS did the right thing in suspending Rojas for two games and this should be set as an example that anti social behavior and sports of all kinds should not mix. If the MLS had not stepped in soon with its two game suspension and $1000 fine, others could repeat the anti social activity or others.

Personally, it would be better if Rojas would have been fined $2000, have a quarter of his pay severed for five games and suspended for the same amount. Regardless, maybe the MLS knows better.
