In the 52nd minute of tonight's match, Philadelphia Union II and ATLUTD2 players paused to recognize the ongoing battle for equality and inclusion in American society. From the start of the 52nd minute through 53:46 of the first half, both teams sought to highlight the need for social change.
Players at other clubs have engaged in similar demonstrations in the USL Championship following the recent unveiling of the Black Player's Alliance. The Black Player's Alliance aims to help members educate and empower others to bring about positive change in their community.
Union II and ATLUTD2 players jointly agreed prior to the match to engage in this demonstration.
