The social justice movement and the fight against systemic racism has to continue even beyond the protests, Sporting Kansas City coach Peter Vermes said on Extratime Driven by Continental.
Vermes said the conversations among his club about racism have been positive and “educational.” And while he lauds the groundswell of support for Black Lives Matter, nationwide and throughout Major League Soccer, Vermes said this time it has to be different than previous uprisings.
It’s a message he shared with his team.
“This is something we cannot allow time to allow it to be forgotten,” Vermes said.
