Toronto FC continued their support for the Black Lives Matter movement before their match against the Montreal Impact on Friday night, kneeling before kickoff and wearing t-shirts with the message front and centre.
Over the last few days, players from sports leagues across North America, including MLS, postponed games as a protest following the shooting of Jacob Blake, a black man shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Seven shots were fired at Blake, four of which hit him, on August 23rd, and today’s demonstration is a continuation of the momentum that athletes have been trying to build worldwide.
