MLS Players created MLS Black Players For Change

SI's Robin Lundberg is joined by Planet Fútbol's, Luis Miguel Echegaray, to discuss the 'MLS Black Players For Change' organization. Luis describes how the organization was born out of the 'Black Lives Matter' movement and public marches. The group started as an Instagram message group from Justin Morrow, the Toronto FC player, where it was black players talking to each other, supporting each other, that eventually became a formal organization, MLS Black Players for Change. The organization has 70 plus members whose motive is to make sure that MLS is held accountable for change.
