From the Sporting Nebraska FC Board of Directors:
To: Our Athletes, Families, Coaches, Staff, Supporters and Volunteers
Together, we are working towards social justice, diversity, and inclusion because we see that change is possible through the universal game of soccer. This is how we, at Sporting Nebraska FC, build common ground.
Many of us have not experienced the fear and injustice that others in our community have lived with for generations. We must do more.
We are committed to helping create a truly inclusive community where everyone is welcomed, respected and valued. This means speaking out against injustice, listening to those who have been unheard, and demanding better of ourselves and of our leaders. We stand ready to do this critical work today and always. Let soccer and Sporting OFC, together with our teammates, colleagues, friends and families lead the way.
In solidarity,
The Sporting Nebraska FC Board of Directors
