Orlando, FL - Major League Soccer (MLS) Commissioner Don Garber expressed shock and dismay after he checked his text messages and realized the communication he wrote specifically for the Orlando City FC and NYCFC teams to, “make the game exciting or else,” was sent instead to the referees of the game.

“I really need to clean up my contacts,” stated Garber to The Nutmeg News. “They’re saved under similar things, I guess. Gameday teams versus Gameday referees. It was a big shock that I could make such a mistake.”

Sources indicate that this isn’t the first time Garber made such a mistake as he accidentally sent a text message to the referees of the 2015 MLS Cup to, “ignore the line, and keep going,” instead of sending it to the reporter who was writing a overly detailed piece on the growth of the league.

The Nutmeg News will have more as Garber checks to make sure his “increase our TV ratings” text went to Columbus/NYRB.
