One United States national team soccer player hopes that fans will show up to games wearing MAGA hats to combat "antifa" images wielded by fans in the stands.
Major League Soccer has been in a high-profile row in recent weeks due to the presence of the “Iron Front” symbol that has been used by some supporters' clubs and has loose ties to anti-fascist, or antifa, movement. The imagery, the league said, is political in nature and thereby subject to being banned from within stadiums. Fans and those in supporters' clubs have argued that the symbol is more generic in nature because it is against the idea of fascism, and is not linked to any particular antifa groups. This week, MLS recanted its ban on the symbol and it said the “Iron Front” will be allowed back into the stadium. The decision reversed a league policy that forced fans in several cities to be kicked out of games for displaying the symbol. The president has talked about designating antifa groups as terrorist organizations. Fans who have displayed the symbol have argued that there is a difference between being anti-fascism and "antifa." In response to the league’s ruling, one player, identified as a former member of the United States national team, hopes that conservative fans and in particular, those who support President Donald Trump will now counter with their own statements.
