THE BIGGER PICTURE

“U.S. Soccer is aware of and deeply disturbed by the racist comments made online and directed at several of our men’s national team players following tonight’s match,” the Federation said in a statement. “There is absolutely no place in the game for such hateful and discriminatory behavior. These actions are not only unacceptable but also contrary to the values of respect and inclusivity that we uphold as an organization.“U.S. Soccer stands firmly against racism in all forms and will continue to support our players.”<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">U.S. Soccer stands firmly against racism in all forms and will continue to support our players. <a href="https://t.co/QayH6AY7ji">pic.twitter.com/QayH6AY7ji</a>— U.S. Soccer Men's National Team (@USMNT) <a href="https://twitter.com/USMNT/status/1806508381953298719?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 28, 2024</a></blockquote>
