From the Pitch - Juneteenth By Amobi Okugo, 06/17/21, 2:15PM EDT Share Juneteenth Amobi Okugo Austin Bold FC June 17, 2021 I’m going to be honest with you… Growing up, I didn’t know much about Juneteenth. As a first-generation Nigerian American, my parents emigrated to the United States and in my household, we were more familiar with the African experience than we were the American one.

Following the USL League One match between Greenville Triumph SC and North Carolina FC on Wednesday, June 16, the USL was made aware that North Carolina FC goalkeeper Jake McGuire had allegedly kicked a soccer ball directly toward the stand behind his goal, where fans were still present. The league subsequently investigated the incident and has been in contact with both clubs.
