If you want to leave Chicago because your local Apple store was looted, and not because of how this city consistently ignores, antagonizes, and violently acts towards its Black communities, we will find you a moving company. No further help from us tho.

Let the players explain why they did what they did. When the decision is made to not allow Hill to speak to the media it creates the idea that you are trying to cover your ass. You say its not fair to judge off an image then let the players have an opportunity to explain. #MKOT

The history of US Soccer cannot be written without talking about the GK position. That's why the first spotlight goes to Briana Scurry. The 2x Gold Medalist and 1999 World Cup Winner was a staple in the US squad and in 2017 was the first black woman inducted into the USSF HOF.

Before anyone says Weston McKinnie and co. must have a talk with him. That's not their job. If Pulisic continues to associate with a person like Jahn then that's on him. Too often its expected of Black athletes to address their white counterparts who continue make bad choices.
