MLS Black History Month roundtable brings attention to black issues in soccer

A few days ago, Major League Soccer unveiled a video chronicling a roundtable discussion featuring key black players and social media influencers in American soccer. The purpose of the roundtable was to highlight some of the issues facing African-Americans and black people in soccer as part of the celebration of Black History Month. Former USWNT player and Fox Soccer commentator Danielle Slaton, Philadelphia Union defender Mark McKenzie, current USWNT star Crystal Dunn, Black Arrow FC co-founder Aaron Dolores, and soccer writer and influencer Aaron West formed the roundtable and sat down with each other earlier this morning for the discussion.
