Klinsmann 'hugely disappointed' by son's controversial tweet
Posted Saturday, May 24, 2014 by Sportingnews.com
U.S. national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann addressed a controversial tweet from his son that seemed to mock Landon Donovan's exclusion from the 23-man roster headed to the World Cup.
"(My reaction) was hugely disappointed — I called him right away," Klinsmann said. "He was devastated yesterday. Obviously as a father you put him in line, and he owes (Donovan) a huge, huge apology. That was highly disrespectful, and he got his biggest social media lesson that he could imagine. But it was very disappointing."
Jonathan Klinsmann, 17, apparently found it humorous that U.S. soccer's most notable player will be watching the World Cup from home.
Donovan, the most capped U.S. player, has participated in three World Cups. He has five goals in 12 World Cup games.
