NEW YORK (November 29, 2023) – The MLS Disciplinary Committee has suspended FC Cincinnati defender Matt Miazga for three matches and issued an undisclosed fine for his misconduct following FC Cincinnati’s match against the New York Red Bulls on November 4. Additionally, Miazga will undergo a behavioral assessment through the Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health (SABH) Program and may petition for a reduction in suspension based on continued commitment and compliance with any recommended treatment programs.

The suspension will be served during the remainder of FC Cincinnati’s games during the Audi 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs, with any remaining suspension served during the 2024 MLS regular season.

Most recent Cincy PostCast has a good discourse on this fiasco. Completely mishandled by the league, imo.

In what way was it mishandled? I'm out of the loop on this.

It really sounds like the refs embellished a ton and set the narrative from the get go. The players union basically waited til everything was out to make a statement and blasted them for that.

I think the refs are making this out to be waaaay bigger but also Miazga is still stupid for ever being near there.

Personally, if Noonan is saying the punishment is overboard then I'm gonna go with his gut.

Also, waiting until within 72 hours of the conference final to announce the suspension instead of weeks earlier. Maybe the FCC FO knew earlier, but it's still insane.
