First aired after Belgium faced Brazil in the #WorldCup, this FOX Soccer clip introduced viewers to Melina, one of the star players from our network (NYCFC) whom the beautiful game gave the courage to come out to her family. She and other LGBTQI+ young people are the reason why #PlayProud was kicked off – an initiative aimed at transforming football teams around the world into safe spaces.
