Wednesday night was bigger than sport.
The players each made a statement with a personal touch on a special “MLS Unites” jersey patch. In addition to the MLS, MLS WORKS and MLS Players’ Association logos, it contains a blank space for players to write the name of someone they want to honour with an inspirational message.The messages and names were scribbled in various languages, like Inbeom Hwang and Ali Adnan electing to write their statements in South Korean and Arabic, respectively.
