Join Us in Standing Up to Racism at This Saturday's Match Against Philadelphia

Gorilla FC is proud to join the international campaign against racism started by Barcelona's Neymar and Dani Alves following a game this past week at Villareal. When a racist fan threw a banana on the field, he nonchalantly picked it up and ate it. As ESPNFC explains it:

Alves did not know the banana would be thrown onto the pitch at Villarreal on Sunday, however, he and Neymar had decided that if an incident occurred, one of them would make sure to eat the fruit on camera. That moment could then be used to kick-start a social media campaign...

This led to people all over the globe tweeting pictures of themselves eating a banana with the hashtags #somostodosmacacos and #weareallmonkeys. In an act of solidarity, GFC members will be joining in on the act at this Saturday's match against the Philadelphia Union. Here are the details.

Bring a banana for you and your neighbor. At the 2 minute mark in the match, hold up your banana. At the 3 minute mark everyone will simultaneously take a bite out of racism (and their banana). 

Now everyone go out and spread the word so that we can show that Seattle stands against racism!
