Been meaning to post this for the past couple of weeks. MLS and MLS Works have produced the 2013 PSA for their “Don’t Cross the Line” Campaign which promotes equality and acceptance in the sport.
The players featured in the PSA are: Dan Kennedy (Chivas USA), Dwayne De Rosario (DC United), Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo), Robbie Keane (Los Angeles Galaxy), Thierry Henry (New York Red Bulls), Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes), Eddie Johnson (Seattle Sounders), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City) and Jay DeMerit (Vancouver Whitecaps).
As website says “Major League Soccer is committed to supporting the communities where we live and play our games, and to providing an environment in which our staff, clubs, players, partners and supporters are treated with dignity and respect. We will not tolerate discrimination, bias, prejudice or harassment of any kind.
Don’t Cross the Line promotes unity, respect, fair play, equality and acceptance throughout the soccer community.
Join Major League Soccer and Take a Stand for Soccer. “
Fans are urged to make the following pledge “I pledge to treat others with dignity and respect and will not tolerate discrimination, bias, prejudice or harassment of any kind.”
You can take the Don’t Cross The Line pledge and join in the effort on MLS Works’ website.
