As protests against racial injustice continue to roil the country, MLS finds itself navigating a fraught situation.
The league's players staged a near-complete boycott of the six games scheduled for Wednesday night, with only the match between Orlando City SC and Nashville SC taking place with the fluid nature of events not allowing the players to get sufficiently organized. One owner, Real Salt Lake's Dell Loy Hansen, then proceeded to pour gasoline on the fire by making a series of immensely tone-deaf comments. He focused only on how he and his business had been impacted and in the process missed the entire point of the players' stand.
