The New York Red Bulls, manager Gerhard Struber, and forward Dante Vanzeir have all issued statements in the aftermath of a racist incident that occurred in Saturday's match against the San Jose Earthquakes.

During the game, a scuffle led to a lengthy stoppage, resulting in an astonishing 21 minutes of added time at the end of the match.

Following the game's conclusion, San Jose player Jeremy Ebobisse said he heard a racist remark - and game footage showed players on both sides reacting by shoving Vanzeir away from the scuffle.

Vanzeir, who recently arrived from Belgium, took responsibility for what he did, in his statement, saying that he would 'agree to any suspension, fine, and counseling' as a result of his punishment.

None of the statements mentioned whether or not Vanzeir would be available for selection at this weekend's home match against the Houston Dynamo.
