As a professional sports club that bears the name Chicago, we felt it was important to speak out about recent events.
We needed time to reflect. We wanted to do more than make a short comment. We wanted a response that would be representative of our entire Club.
We listened to the people who make up Chicago Fire FC, including our players, supporters and staff. They’re our teammates in the locker room, in the stands, in the office and in our community.
The last few months have been hard. The last days agonizingly more so. The impact of events has left many hurting and our communities in distress.
