NEW YORK - Major League Soccer has suspended Inter Miami CF midfielder Yannick Bright for violating the league's Non-Discrimination Policy during the Colorado Rapids vs. Inter Miami CF match on Saturday, April 18. In addition to the one-match suspension Bright served on Wednesday, April 22, due to the red card he received for the offense, MLS has suspended Bright for a second game which will be served during Miami's next match on Saturday, April 25, against the New England Revolution.
Bright is participating in, and must complete, a restorative practice program.
In making decisions under this Policy, MLS considers many factors, including the player's immediate acceptance of responsibility for harm caused by the misconduct, eagerness to begin a process to repair it, and cooperation with the league's review.
