LA Galaxy Released Aleksandar Katai After His Wife Tea Called Protestors ‘Disgusting Cattle’ And Urged People To Run Them Over

TMZ Sports – MLS winger Aleksandar Katai’s wife’s disgusting comments about protesters just cost him his job with the LA Galaxy … with the team deciding to part ways with the player due to her “racist and violent” words.

The 29-year-old Serbian met with the team earlier this week after Tea Katai called for people to kill protesters — which she referred to as “disgusting cattle” — on Instagram.

The Galaxy released a statement condemning Tea’s since-deleted comments on Wednesday … saying “Earlier today, the LA Galaxy were made aware of a series of racist and violent social media posts by Tea Katai, the wife of LA Galaxy midfielder Aleksandar Katai.”

Aleksandar — who joined the squad in December — released a statement against his wife’s comments earlier this week, saying “These views are not ones that I share and are not tolerated in my family.”
“I strongly condemn white supremacy, racism and violence towards people of color. Black lives matter. This is a mistake from my family and I take full responsibility.”Sounds like someone is sleeping on the couch! Here’s some of what Tea Katai posted, which included her saying some of the worst parts in Serbian. Slick move.

She seems like a lovely human being. And, after the world has spent days questioning Drew Brees following his remarks, it seems like a no-brainer that what she posted is very much not the move.

And this may be a hot take but I honestly feel kind of bad for Aleksandar Katai here. He said the right things in his apology and didn’t do any of the idiotic posting. And now he loses his job because he married a Serbian woman in Tea Katai who very likely has zero perspective on the history of Black oppression in America. When you pair that with her being a crappy and entitled seeming person, that’s a powder keg waiting to go off.

But many a man (and woman) has been in Aleksandar Katai’s shoes here. It may be a girlfriend or significant other picking a fight that a guy doesn’t want a part of. Or a guy getting drunk and mouthing off at a bar while his partner has to pull him away or hope he doesn’t get his teeth knocked out. It happens. Perhaps he’s a dude who’s comfortably left his testicles in her purse for years and now he has to face a rude awakening as he attempts to grab them back. It’s a tough spot for him to be in but one in which he’ll hopefully do the right thing.

Now how do you say “I hope this dude had a pre-nup” in Serbian?
