The game between Real Salt Lake and LAFC has been postponed.
The two teams were scheduled to play Wednesday evening and was slated to be RSL’s first home game since March. But after teams in sports leagues across the country boycotted scheduled games to protest the police shooting of Jacob Blake, RSL and LAFC followed suit, along with the rest of MLS. All of Wednesday’s matches were postponed, save the Orlando-Nashville game, which was already underway.
News came that the game wouldn’t be played about an hour before kickoff.
A smattering of spectators looked on as coaches and players from both Real Salt Lake and LAFC took the field about an hour before the scheduled kickoff time.
There were no warmup drills. Every person on then field wore a Black Lives Matter T-shirt and took a posed photo.
This story will be updated.
