Tonight’s game between the Seattle Sounders and the LA Galaxy has been postponed in light of the events in Kenosha, Wisc., Sounder at Heart has confirmed. The Sounders players were reportedly unanimous in their decision not to play, following in the footsteps of teams and leagues around the country who had called off their games earlier in the day. It is currently unclear when or if the game will be rescheduled.
The Sounders were already in Los Angeles, having flown there earlier in the day, when the decision was made. Just a couple days earlier the team launched its “We Are All Sounders” initiative in which they pledged to focus on four areas for change: to fight racism, defend the right to play, stand for LGBTQ+ equality and protect our planet.
