Weston McKennie offered eye-watering sum for ripped USMNT shirt from chaotic Mexico game

USMNT star Weston McKennie rejected a $10,000 donation for his ripped match shirt after he became involved in a mass brawl against Mexico.

The USMNT beat Mexico 3-0 on Thursday night but the game was flooded with chaos from start to finish. The two Concacaf rivals were battling it out to book their place in Sunday's Nations League final against Canada, but tensions boiled over.

McKennie was sent off alongside Cesar Montes after the Mexican dived in dangerously on Folarin Balogun, and his shirt was almost completely ripped off after a bust-up on the field. He was offered $10,000 for the now iconic shirt, but had opted to keep it as a souvenir instead.
