Sporting Kansas City-Rapids Preview

The Colorado Rapids were one of several MLS teams to boycott a match earlier this week. At the moment, they could be ready to take the pitch again.

Winless in their last four contests, the Rapids will host Western Conference-leading Sporting Kansas City on Saturday night.

Colorado (2-3-1) was slated to face FC Dallas on Wednesday night, but were one of five matches that ended up being boycotted. The action came in the response to the unrest and violence following Sunday’s police shooting of black 29-year-old Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis.

In a statement from Rapids Executive Vice President and General Manager Padraig Smith: “We fully support the decision made by our players to join athletes across the country in using their platforms to fight for change, justice and accountability. As a club, as an organization, and more importantly, as human beings, we stand united in condemning racial and social injustices.”
