Curtin: ‘I expect to play tomorrow’
Multiple games have been postponed this week already in MLS and other professional sports leagues amidst player protests over the shooting of Jacob Blake by police in Wisconsin, but tomorrow’s Philadelphia Union game against D.C. United is still on.
“I do expect to play the game Saturday,” Union head coach Jim Curtin said Friday. “We prepared like we’re playing tomorrow.”
The Union played on Tuesday night, but after the Milwaukee Bucks opted of an NBA playoff game in Florida on Wednesday, all but one of the six MLS games on the calendar were postponed by a decision from the players to sit out the game in solidarity.
