The article emphasizes the proactive role of women in social activism, highlighting Angel City FC as a prime example. Amid recent immigration raids, the club quickly issued a statement acknowledging the fear this caused and responded with tangible support, branding themselves as "Immigrant City Football Club." This act not only showcased their solidarity but also reaffirmed their commitment to inclusivity. Unlike other local teams, Angel City's efforts reflect a persistent and actionable approach to societal issues, pushing back against silent complacency seen in other franchises.
Angel City has grown defiant, dressing its players and new coach Alexander Straus in T-shirts that renamed the team "Immigrant City Football Club."
The statement was our way of making sure that our fans, our players, our staff felt seen in that moment.
Angel City, the most valuable franchise in women's sports history, has been walking that walk since it launched five years ago.
Whenever men have proven too cautious, cowardly or complacent to act, women have had the courage to do the right thing.
