The Empire Supporters Club and Garden State Ultras will not have the opportunity to honor former New York Red Bulls captain Dax McCarty with a tifo demonstration.
Today, the ESC put out a statement, which the New York Red Bulls confirmed, stating the group had been sanctioned. The sanction prohibits the group from producing a tifo, overhead banner, or use smoke for the next two games.
In a statement, ESC said the sanction came "without warning," from the club, after it appeared no action would be taken from two "isolated incidents."
