NYCFC has once again teamed up with MLS to support Don’t Cross the Line, the anti-discrimination campaign created to ensure an environment in which clubs, players, coaches, partners and fans are treated with dignity and respect.
Don’t Cross the Line emphasizes that discrimination, bias, prejudice or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated and promotes an atmosphere of diversity, equality, and inclusion through the soccer community.
Representatives from all 22 MLS clubs feature in the campaign’s PSA video, including David Villa and Jack Harrison from NYCFC.
JoAnn Neale, Chief Administrative Officer, Major League Soccer, said: “Major League Soccer is committed to diversity and inclusion.
“Don’t Cross the Line is our League-wide campaign which embodies this core value of our League. Everyone who is a part of our game, whether as a fan, player, partner or employee, should be treated with dignity and respect.
“We are extremely proud that more players than ever before - representing all 22 MLS clubs - participated in this year’s PSA, and we invite everyone to join us in taking the pledge to end discrimination.”
Now, fans are now being encouraged to pledge their support for #DONTCROSSTHELINE.
Supporters who wish to Take the Pledge can do so at MLSSoccer.com/dontcrosstheline or through their social media channels.
When fans Take the Pledge, their social media profile picture will automatically populate into a large mosaic, connecting fans through an interactive virtual community.
