Montreal Impact manager Thierry Henry took a knee for eight minutes and 46 seconds in memory of George Floyd at the start of his team's first game of the MLS Is Back Tournament against the New England Revolution. Floyd was killed at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department after having a knee pressed into his neck for that duration.
Henry is in his first season as Montreal's manager after a stint at the helm of Ligue 1 team AS Monaco. Henry enjoyed a storied playing career, most notably playing for Arsenal from 1999-2007. After a three-year run at Barcelona, he continued his playing career in MLS for the New York Red Bulls from 2010 until his retirement in 2014.
