Major League Soccer will resume play later on Friday after postponing matches for two days in solidarity with other North American sports leagues that halted play this week to protest against racial injustice.
Dell Loy Hansen is, by many accounts, a homophobic, racist, old man. No matter how much money he has to put into NWSL, MLS and USL, there’s no room for this type of human to be involved in sports.
Real Salt Lake owner Dell Loy Hansen called his players' refusal to play Wednesday night a sign of "disrespect" and made him question "how much I want to invest in the team."
Real Salt Lake's contest against visiting Los Angeles FC was one of five games postponed in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Wednesday was a remarkable day in U.S. sports. For the first time in memory, athletes in this country chose not to participate in major professional team sports in protest of the continued shootings of Black men and women by police. It started with the Milwaukee Bucks, whose home arena isn’t far from where Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back earlier this week and where two protesters were murdered in the streets. It continued with the rest of the NBA and WNBA, a poignant message on the four-year anniversary of Colin Kaepernick taking a knee.
When soccer returned to play after shutting down for the novel coronavirus pandemic, players, teams and leagues around the world showed solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
Lionel Messi's potential move to Manchester City could eventually bring the international superstar to New York City FC, ESPN reported Wednesday.

Ethan Zubak and Sebastian Lletget each scored a goal as the Los Angeles Galaxy earned their first victory of season with a 2-0 decision at Los Angeles FC on Saturday, while adding another intriguing chapter to the "El Trafico" rivalry.
Despite LAFC emerging as one of the best teams in MLS over the last three seasons, the Galaxy (1-3-2, five points) have defeated their cross-town rival three times. LAFC has one regular-season victory in the matchup, a 6-2 thrashing in group play of this year's MLS is Back Tournament.
