Show Notes
Major League Soccer (MLS) has permanently banned two players, Derrick Jones and Yaw Yeboah, for gambling on soccer matches, including bets on their own games. The league found extensive wagers placed during the 2024 and 2025 seasons, with one instance involving Jones betting on himself to receive a yellow card in a 2024 match. The league, with the help of integrity partners and a law firm, discovered these violations and received full cooperation from the Columbus Crew. MLS Commissioner Don Garber emphasized the leagues commitment to protecting match integrity, stating they will enforce rules, educate players, and advocate for banning yellow card betting nationwide. Jones, a 29-year-old, and Yeboah, 28, both played for the Columbus Crew and now face consequences for undermining fair play.
