The Philadelphia Union took the pitch on Thursday morning, 7/9, for their first match of the MLS is Back Tournament being held in a "bubble" at the ESPN World Wide of Sports Complex in Bay Lake, Florida. The Union players came out for the team photos wearing black warmup shirts that read "Black Lives Matter." They then removed the tops and turned around for another photo revealing that they had replaced their names on their jerseys with the last names of victims of police brutality. The names included (Breonna) Taylor, (John) Crawford, (Eric) Garner, (Alton) Sterling and (Tamir) Rice. The shirts also said "Our players stand together, One name too many." The Union beat NYC FC 1-0.
