    As we approach the Courage's match against Utah Royals FC this Friday, we must weigh in on the jersey controversy. While we support all the Utah players and their fans, we can’t stand by without mentioning the front of jersey sponsor, America First Credit Union, of our opponent -

    American first credit union like most banks and credit unions is not politically affiliated with any political party. Moreover the term “first” in the name of a bank is the second most common word used in bank names and is used to build trust in a bank mabusagency.com/whats-in-a-ban… x.com/afcu/status/12…

    We are deeply disappointed in Jaelene Daniels decision to not participate in the 2022 Pride-Night match.
    We are deeply disappointed in Jaelene Daniels decision to not participate in the 2022 Pride-Night match.  We are further let down by the front office of the NC Courage to allow her to do this, in contradiction of public expectations for growth stated by both parties in December 2021.  While we embrace a community with diverse beliefs, we cannot endorse behavior that is antithetical to the stated values of inclusion of the league, the club, and its supporters.
    By choosing not to wear a pride jersey she is choosing bigotry and homophobia. These beliefs do not exist in a vacuum. These beliefs lead to ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bills and harmful anti-trans legislation like HB2. Now more than ever it’s important to support, uplift, and affirm the LGBTQ community. Pride is not optional. Pride is not one day. Pride is not one month. Pride is about the continual fight for equality and acceptance for the queer community. Pride is year round.

    The leadership of Uproar NC collectively agree the re-signing of Jaelene Daniels to the NC Courage is unacceptable. 

As supporters, we believe soccer should be a welcoming space for all, regardless of sexual orientation. We strive to create an open, safe, and inclusive environment at all our games, tailgates, and events.

We are planning shared action steps for Courage fans who believe homophobia and bigotry have no place in soccer. We welcome fans to DM us if

    We will not drum or chant during the Challenge Cup in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ members of our community who no longer feel welcome at our stadium. See our statement for more. #UproarNC #CourageCountry #NWSL #YallMeansAll #SoccerForAll #YouCanPlay
    The Uproar will not drum or chant during the Challenge Cup in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+
 members of our community who no longer feel welcome or safe at our stadium. We will use our
 silence to highlight their absence.

The NC Courage is our team. We continue to support the players. However, the leadership of
 our front office refuses to do any meaningful work to address and rectify the harm they have
 caused.

It is because we love this team that we hold them to these minimum standards of equity and
 inclusion.

    We are shocked, heartbroken, disgusted and angry. The NWSL and our club leadership have broken the trust of fans. We stand with survivors. We stand with the @nwsl_players.

    We appreciate Sam. She took what she learned here and uses her platform to stand up against homophobia. 🌈
    “The actions that were a problem, were out in the open, and so to some extent the growth should be out in the open as well. That is what is missing from this equation.” Couldn’t have said it any better.

    We demand Paul Riley step down immediately and a new, independent investigation started into the allegations against him. We demand any staff who was aware of this behavior and failed to report it also be suspended.

    x.com/austindaluz/st… The leadership of UproarNC collectively agree that Jaelene Hinkle’s recent blog entry is unacceptable in its bigotry towards the LGBTQ+ community. As supporters, we want to help grow Women's Soccer and back our local club, @TheNCCourage. 1/8

    Homophobia is not a differing belief. It is hatred and inherently creates a toxic environment. #NWSL #CourageCountry

    You cannot have someone who abused players be in charge of players. The league has systematically let abuse run rampant putting all players at risk. This ends today. We are committed to holding our club and the league accountable.

    We support @RoseRoomCo and @SpiritSquadron and the rest of the Spirit fans. Sell the team, Baldwin.

    If you start with, "I hate to be rude," just stop right there and do not move forward. You already clearly know what will follow is rude. And tbh, it's shitty af. Go be ableist somewhere else. But you won't be doing that here. #UproarNC #CourageCountry #CourageUnitesUs

    While we respect everyone’s rights to religion, we will not accept it as a way to tear down marginalized communities. We urge them to stand with us and make a statement about how her views do not represent the views of this club. Hate has no place in our beautiful game. 8/8
