San Diego Sockers Coach Ron Newman has been fined $6,000 and suspended for three games next season by the Major Indoor Soccer League for his altercation with Los Angeles Lazer vice president of operations Ron Weinstein during San Diego’s road finale at the Forum April 4.
“I was just tweaking his ear,” said Newman, who admitted he also made anti-Semitic remarks toward Weinstein.
A MISL rule passed before the season states that any member of a club who strikes a MISL official or representative of a team is subject to a minimum $5,000 fine.
