Let’s start with this note, we deserved to lose to the Colorado Rapids.
Why did we deserve that loss?
Because, for some wild reason, Real Salt Lake supporters who chose to attend the match during a global pandemic felt it would be a good idea to actually boo and shout at players when they took a knee before kickoff. Nothing says “we’re not here for RSL” like actually booing a demonstration related to racial equality and equal rights.
During a moment of silence to support the BLM movement, people booing and asking us not to make things political is ridiculous. Since when did racism become political?#BLM https://t.co/IUnS1gZggP
