Jans has said he used the N-word while singing along to a hip-hop song during a training camp in Arizona, but MLS Players' Association executive director Bob Foose released a statement on Tuesday claiming "the narrative that the conduct here involved singing along to song lyrics is completely false," and accused Jans of creating a toxic atmosphere within the team.

Jans, a native of the Netherlands, told ESPN that after using the N-word in singing along with a hip-hop song, he was immediately pulled aside by defender Nick Hagglund, who told him that it was a cultural taboo for a white person to say that word in America.

"I always walk into the locker room and have some talks and there's always music and I'm interested in music," Jans told ESPN. "I also know a little bit about hip-hop songs and maybe I do impulsive things. Sometimes I like to show that I'm interested in that culture and support people against any kind of discrimination and even racism. I hate it. But I did a clumsy thing and I realized that and I apologized for when I hurt people's feelings. But it wasn't addressed to someone. It wasn't in bad intention."

Jans also acknowledged to ESPN an incident that took place last October during a team talk prior to a game against D.C. United. In that talk he brought up slavery as an example of overcoming adversity but was adamant he "never had bad intentions."

And was he really turning them around? I think they lost ten games and won three or something like that
