During Major League Soccer’s recent international break of play, the deadliest mass shooting in the history of the United States took place at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
On June 12, an American-born man who reportedly pledged his allegiance to the terror group ISIS entered Pulse — a gay nightclub in Orlando — and gunned down 50 people, while 53 others were injured in the shooting.
Support for Orlando was sent from all over the country and from many different sporting franchises. Michael Bradley, the United States Men’s National Team’s captain, wore a rainbow armband for the Orlando victims during the USMNT’s victory over Ecuador in the Copa America quarterfinals this past Thursday.
