CHICAGO - The United States Soccer Federation announced, today, that they would kick off honoring Black History Month with a Clint Dempsey tribute.

“He raps and says ‘yo’ a lot,” stated one anonymous USSF staff member, “so he’s without a doubt USMNTs Blackest legend that we feel comfortable talking to at this time.”

Sources indicate that Dempsey will be presented with a custom made denim USMNT Kangol cap to indicate the federation and players long standing commitment to, "spitting truth in the booth," as they lauded Dempsey and fellow rap partner Big Hawk for being people who would, "stop drop and roll, I brings down the roof."

The federation reached out to Dempsey in order to join their honors system as they indicated their commitment towards anti-racism and diversity.

“It’s so great that a US Soccer legend could do so much for the Black community like Clint Dempsey, he really raps about the trap as they say in the Black community,” stated Josh Ferguson USSF director of player awards and Carli Lloyd victory tours.

“As the great one says,” stated Ferguson, “In his poetic masterpiece Don’t Tread,

‘Got nothing to lose

And everything to prove

Don't change the mood

Cause we done payed our dues

Best to give way

For the USA

Now we're hot

You might think we're a sun ray,’

and with these words Clint Dempsey shows us, like the great Martin Luther King Jr, that anything is possible in the United States.”
