Following a team meeting and the decision by the Seattle Sounders not to play on Wednesday night, players took to social media to voice their thoughts on where that decision came from. Amidst protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin after Jacob Blake was shot in the back seven times by police, players and teams from sports and leagues around the United States have spoken up and utilized their platforms by choosing not to play in order to bring awareness to the continued injustices upon which this country is built.
Some of the posts reflected the solidarity within the team in coming to the decision not to play.
