A lot has happened in the last 24 hours.
This morning, RSL owner Dell Loy Hansen made some incredibly out-of-touch and disgraceful remarks about the protests that occurred at Rio Tinto Stadium. Last night, RSL players joined with their opponent for the night, LAFC, and other leagues around the nation to protest the treatment of black people in this country. The RSL players showed a lot of bravery choosing not to play a match that would have been their first match at home since March. The players likely anticipated some of the pushback they would receive from some fans or members of the organization but went ahead with it to “capitalize on that moment” as Nedum Onuoha put it and turn a lot of heads no matter the amount of anger or discomfort or, yes, inconvenience it would cause for many.
