During the Colorado Rapids’ 4-1 win over CF Montréal on Saturday, multiple signs and tifos backing defender Moïse Bombito were scattered around the stands, particularly behind the south goal, where the Centennial 38 supporters group is located. The show of support for Bombito, who is Black and also plays for the Canadian men’s national team, came after he became the target of racist harassment on social media last week following a Copa America match last Thursday against Argentina. Bombito tackled Inter Miami star and World Cup champion Lionel Messi during that match while tracking back to stop an Argentinian attack on goal.
