On August 26th, the Chicago Fire twitter account tweeted this in response to the WNBA, NBA, and MLS teams striking and refusing to play due to the escalation of racism and the police brutality that occurred in Kenosha earlier in the week.
The Fire’s response was welcome on a day where the other major sports teams either played too early to participate in this multi-sport action (the White Sox) or decided to go ahead and play anyway (the Cubs). Since then, more MLB games were postponed due to player action, including an emotional display between the Mets and the Marlins.
