Houston Dynamo forward Kei Kamara was suspended and fined by Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber.

The suspensions will cover two regular season games and the fine totals $500. That will mean Kamara will miss Houston's first two matches of the regular season, versus the Columbus Crew on March 22 and the San Jose Earthquakes on March 28.
Don't Miss

Kamara was involved in an incident with the officiating crew after Houston’s preseason match versus the San Jose Earthquakes on Feb. 15, 2009.

MLS investigated the incident and found that Kamara made inappropriate comments to an official. 

Fines from MLS are donated to the U.S. Soccer Foundation, which awards grants to soccer clubs in urban areas.
