Related Topics: Juneteenth, Sporting Kansas City

We stand united against all forms of racism, injustice and acts of hatred.

We stand with the Black community and fully support those who have suffered from discrimination, bigotry and senseless violence.

We believe it is our responsibility to champion justice and equality proactively and peacefully. To build a better future through meaningful action while vehemently condemning racism and prejudice.

To help with this mission, we will observe Juneteenth on Friday, June 19, as a recognized holiday. Our offices will be closed and there will be no practice. It is a day to reflect on our past, but more importantly, consider how each one of us can continue to band together to work toward a better future.
