Columbus Crew have dismissed their reserve team coach Federico Higuain following a sexist remark to a female referee. The Argentine, brother of former Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain, was suspended for two matches and sent off during an MLS Next Pro league match. Crew general manager Issa Tall stated that Higuain's conduct did not meet the club's standards for leadership.
The Professional Soccer Referees Association (PSRA) strongly criticized the league's response, emphasizing that Higuain's actions were physical abuse and sexism. The union argued that Higuain squeezed the referee's hand and refused to let go after being asked to stop multiple times. They also condemned the sexist remark where Higuain referred to the game as "a man's game."
The PSRA added that women officials excel at every level of the sport and deserve respect, dignity, and a safe working environment.
