We have work to do to make it safe for our trans family to be visible. We have to fight for our siblings and make it so they don't have to choose between celebrating their accomplishments and protecting their family.
re: Blue Crew TDOV post
We reached out to people and were told they were concerned for their safety. Which is valid. Its scary right now for our trans family.
Trans People Belong in View
Picture of Blue Crew and Undertow logo. Text says "For Trans Day of Visibility, we had hoped to highlight the accomplishments of an athlete or organization. Their accomplishments on and off the field deserve to be celebrated, however, in consideration of their safety and wellbeing, we have decided to highlight the trans athlete community as a whole. They are competitors, they are teammates, and they are strong. We hope that these visible athletes and athletic organizations remind us that sports and athleticism are important to the whole trans community. Their fight, grit, and determination enrich us all. Today we say Trans Athletes Belong.
Blue Crew and Undertow Logos. Text says "We take this time to honor all the athletes highlighted by our fellow supporter groups, and will continue to work together in our campaign in fighting for their inclusion. If you want, consider ordering a "Trans People Belong' t-shirt or a "trans people belong in sports flag" which both benefit the transgender law center.
We're on it!
See y'all at Friction at 3!

but also publicly acknowledge what they will be doing as an organization to help bring to light the incredibly rich history and accomplishments of our city’s African American population instead of bringing attention to the city and state’s racist history.
We ask that KC Current Leadership and Palmer Square Real Estate Management take ownership of their mistake and not only select a different name for the venue,
Missouri has had a particularly violent history of sundown towns so it is especially disturbing for a team located in Missouri to chose to name a night club establishment for people to gather at on its grounds, after dark, Sundown Lounge.
The use of the name “Sundown” for a dance club is not only racist, but incredibly insensitive to the history of the area in which this team resides.
In the year 2026, the history of America and its African American population is not unknown.

if you're only reporting that the IOC has banned transgender athletes, you are missing a huge part of the story: the IOC is now requiring genetic testing for ALL WOMEN ATHLETES.
Transphobia hurts everyone.
We just realized this is admin's fault for not posting the victory gif after the opener. We sincerely regret our role in all of this and hope you'll forgive us
Thank you KCUR for letting us talk about our favorite subject and also for capturing some really awesome clips and images from the night we clinched the shield
When we heard they planned on doing an episode of women's soccer in Kansas City, we immediately reached out. Knowing the history in the league and specifically the history of FC Kansas City is important so we can appreciate where we are now.
We love public radio and were so excited to work with KCUR for today's episode of "A People's History of Kansas City"

Too bad the game never happened, there's no way to confirm that it did. Everyone went home right before kick and got some hot chocolate
Shout-out to our friends @chicagolocal134.com for being great hosts yesterday, especially when a certain naive traveling fan had packed for the trip looking at an outdated forecast and was not prepared for that wind
