Kneeling Together

"The referee and players of both the Columbus Crew and D.C. United kneel after the whistle to start the game during the first half at Audi Field on October 28, 2020 in Washington, DC. The MLS announced it would no longer play the U.S. National Anthem while they had no fans due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Players have continued to kneel to protest social injustice."

When sports returned from hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic - athletes took to the field to protest social injustice. 

With much controversy and division in the world, nearly every game had at least one player or entire teams take a kneel to make a statement.

That was no different during a Major League Soccer game between D.C. United and the Columbus Crew. 

The MLS announced it would no longer play the U.S. National Anthem while they had no fans due to the Covid-19 pandemic, so players have continued to kneel to protest social injustice prior to the start of their games.

A powerful picture, these types of images will live on forever to tell history visually.
