The U.S. men’s soccer team took the pitch before a friendly match against Wales on Thursday night wearing social justice messages on their warmup jackets before kickoff. The players wore the message “Be the Change” in blue on red backgrounds, and several others wore individual messages on the back of them. Some of the phrases included: "Stop Racism," "Believe to Achieve," "Unite in Truth," "Spread Love Not Hate," "Black Lives Matter" and "For Social Justice." “With the goal of inspiring action on social justice issues, all of the players had ‘Be the Change’ adorned on the front of their anthem jackets. “I am also proud of the fact the players came together and thought about how to activate for social justice with 'Be The Change,’” he said.
