UNITED STATES - Soccer teams across the country kicked off their celebration of Black History Month by scouring their offices for employees who are black as they attempted to fulfil their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) promises.

“We’ve been able to really find a few employees this time around,” stated one human resources manager. “Our office is extremely diversified if you count the players on the team. ESPECIALLY if you include players from French territories. EXTREMELY diversified.”

Sources say that one social media manager stated, “Has it really been a year?” before going to google to look up a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to post to the team’s Twitter feed. “It’s always exciting this time of year because I get to google so many different people for a week or two in February.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as a Tom Jeffers, from the Sugar House neighborhood, retweets the Real Salt Lake Black History Month post as his moment of local defiance.
