- Players on the National Women's Soccer League's Florida club — the Orlando Pride — protested the state's "Don't Say Gay" legislation ahead of their home game against the North Carolina Courage.
- Stars on the roster were filmed wearing black T-shirts with "GAY" written in white across the chest while getting off the team's coach bus ahead of Saturday's Challenge Cup match.
- The professional athletes made the collective gesture just two days before Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill — which bars Florida public-school teachers through third grade from including discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in their lesson planning — into law Monday.
