NEW YORK - An online poll released today is reportedly the next step towards creating a more tolerant league as anonymous executives at their wits end attempt to determine the next steps in Major League Soccer’s Black Lives Matter movement.

“We’re all out of options,” stated our source. “We made tons of videos with black people in them. We made shirts that we don’t really sell, we even told people we cared about black people. We are truly running out of ideas.”

According to our sources, the league decided to determine their next step by reaching out to the fans.

“We sent out a poll to our fans asking them to pick from 5 different options on our next step as a league to fix racism within the country and the league. We sweetened the deal by giving them 5% off an affiliated Fanatics purchase and free shipping if they follow the league account on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube and tag two additional friends who also might like to vote in this poll,” stated one anonymous executive. “We’re just exhausted as MLS executives. You want to fix this stuff, but it keeps happening no matter what you do. This has been a long few months of dealing with this issue and we’re getting tired. The only next step we can think of is calling a majority black town and asking them if they want to pay a $500 million dollar expansion fee so they can have a team. We have been told we should try to be in these … um… areas…um….. anyway. Maybe that’ll help?”

The online poll will allow supporters to be able to choose if the league should make team colored dashikis, a pan African flag with your team logo on it, an MLS team Kwanzaa set, or #MLSisBlack branded tournament gear.

The Nutmeg News will have more as the MLS league office contacts Burna Boy to see if he’ll do the new pregame anthem.
