(This article has been corrected. de Jong did not receive a red card for his karate kick to the chest of Xabi Alonso in the World Cup Final.)

On Monday Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder Nigel de Jong was shown red after a horror tackle on Vancouver Whitecaps’ Blas Pérez.

The tackle is hard to watch:

Studs up, aimed high on Perez’s plant foot. That’s how legs are broken.

Thankfully this time, de Jong was shown a red card, unlike earlier this season when he received only yellow for this nightmare tackle on Darlington Nagbe. (The league later suspended him three games for the tackle, which if you look at the image, seems almost light.)

Contrarians love to come in on this and say that de Jong was penalized for both these fouls, and that’s the rules of the game, and we should move on with it.

I’m sorry, but no. I’m sick of it. Nigel de Jong has been given every chance imaginable. He continues to act like this. He hasn’t learned his lesson, not after breaking Hatem Ben Arfa’s leg in two places. He didn’t learn his lesson after being embarrassed in the World Cup Final for a karate kick into the chest of Xabi Alonso. He didn’t learn his lesson after a horror tackle broke the leg of Stu Holden, nor when Holland’s national team dropped him, nor did he learn it when French newspaper L’Équipe named him the most violent footballer alive.

Enough is enough. de Jong has moved past “tough player” and is now firmly in the “affecting other people’s ability to have careers” world. That’s what he’s doing. He’s cheating people out of games, out of the chance to play the game they love.

I don’t know if it comes from Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena or MLS’ disciplinary committee, but this has gone on long enough. de Jong needs to sit down again. In my mind, he shouldn’t be in the league. At what point is this not worth it anymore?
