On August 7, 2020, Major League Soccer (MLS) announced that FC Dallas goalkeeper Jesse Gonzalez had been terminated from the club following allegations of domestic abuse.
Gonzalez, 25, had been suspended since June after the Frisco Police Department in Texas received a report of multiple incidents of domestic abuse involving the player.
MLS stated that it was continuing its own investigation into the allegations and would remain in close communication with the club, law enforcement, and the MLS Players Association.
Gonzalez had signed with FC Dallas in 2013 and made 101 regular season appearances for the club, including winning the US Open Cup in 2016 and being a member of the United States 2017 Gold Cup squad.
