Watch: Conor Casey left bewildered by questionable red card
Major League Soccer's referees have made a number of dubious decisions this season, as soft tackles have seen a red card brandished without a second thought. But for Columbus Crew forward Conor Casey, this latest ejection is nothing short of bewildering.
The lumbering forward, on the field for all of three minutes, collided (if you can call it that) with Philadelphia Union defender Keegan Rosenberry as he attempted to stop his run, but the contact was deemed egregious by referee Robert Sibiga.

Rosenberry shared in Casey's bewilderment as the two shared a laugh on the sidelines immediately afterward.
