MLS is officially back and more: Freedom Kicks for 9 July 2020

Hello! MLS is officially back, and there was soccer last night and there is soccer right now. It is still a very open question about whether or not these games should be played, but they are here.

By all accounts, the first game of the MLS is Back Tournament was a scrappy affair, as one would think after such a long layoff. Nani scored the late winner for the hosts.

However, the most impactful thing from the game was the protest from the Black Players for Change, in which they took the field with the starting lineups to protest police brutality and advocate for human rights.
