FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Philadelphia Union captain Alejandro Bedoya took a deep breath as he sat down to address the media following Saturday night’s 1-1 draw against the New England Revolution.
He could have spoken about the game, the sixth tie in the month of May and the first game in which the Union have fallen behind since opening day. But something else was on his mind, something more important.
During warm-ups, the Union players wore bright orange t-shirts with the words End Gun Violence across the front. Bedoya’s armband echoed the same message.
