Players with the National Women's Soccer League knelt during the national anthem Saturday when Challenge Cup tournament opened in Utah - marking the first US professional sporting event since the coronavirus pandemic. 

 

Players with Portland Thorns and the North Carolina Courage wore Black Lives Matter T-shirts in warmups before the game, which was nationally televised on CBS. 

 

They also knelt during a moment of silence before kickoff. Photos taken from the field show all players from both teams kneeling as a sign of protest against racial injustice, police brutality and racism. The league confirmed the day before that it would play the national anthem before the Challenge Cup games and that it would support the players in whatever they chose to do.
