Bounce Back Physio (@bouncebackphy) March 30, 2012The New York Red Bulls have released a statement about the removal of forward Luke Rodgers from the team.
From NewYorkRedBulls.com:
“After going through the entire immigration and appeals process, Luke’s P-1 Visa application has unfortunately been denied by the U.S. government for now. We have spoken with Luke about potential options and have mutually decided that it would be in all parties’ best interests to terminate his current MLS contract so he could play elsewhere. However, we will also continue to track his progress this year while working with immigration officials with the goal that he could join the Red Bulls sometime in the future.”
Can't believe Luke Rodgers can't get a visa!! What did he do to get denied???—

Luke Rodgers' visa denied? Surely David Stern's got something to do with this. #NYRB—
