Alejandro Bedoya, a winger/midfielder on Philadelphia Union of the MLS and also a player on the United States Men’s National Team, scored a goal tonight in Washington D.C. versus DC United. Then he ran to a microphone on the side of the field and yelled for Congress to do something to end gun violence now:

Bedoya’s plea to Congress comes after an especially violent weekend in America. There were mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton in which 29 people died.
