Around the world, organisations, leagues, and communities are facing up to the problems they harbour of race. Sadly, MLS is no different.
This week, the NFL released a progressive statement that admitted it was wrong to silence players who protested police brutality and systemic racism in America. While commissioner, Roger Goodell, did not mention Colin Kaepernick, the instigator of the protest who has since been blackballed from the league, by name, he did take a step further than the league has ever done before.
