Sporting Kansas City will launch the Sporting Community Kitchen next week, providing 1,000 hot meals each day through a partnership with City Foods & Events and Operation BBQ Relief.
On Monday, the kitchen will begin distributing 250 four-pack meal kits each work day to families and people who are unable to work due to the coronavirus pandemic. Locals can sign up through online registration, then pick up the meals at the curb of Children’s Mercy Park.
The meals will consist of a barbecue entree, two sides and bread for four people prepared by Plowboys Barbeque, an American Royal champion based out of Blue Springs, Mo.
Daily registration will open at 8 a.m. CT and stay open until all 250 slots are filled. Families and individuals who sign up can pick up their meal outside the Budweiser Brew House at Children’s Mercy Park from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on their assigned day.
Heath says sports will bring communities together after coronavirus
Former Orlando City coach Adrian Heath weathered plenty of adversity during his nearly seven years as the Lions’ manager, including the shooting that killed 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in the final month of his tenure.
In a conversation with Orlando Sentinel columnist Mike Bianchi, Heath compared that tragedy to the current challenges faced by the Orlando and greater U.S. community due to the coronavirus pandemic. Heath said he believes sport will be able to unify many communities, including that of Orlando.
“When this is all over, I think we’re going to see a tremendous amount of people rallying together,” Heath said. “One thing that this has shown me is how much I love my job and how much I miss sports… We’re all waiting for the day that we can get back to normalcy, and when that happens, I think sports is one of the things that will bring everybody together again.”
Column: Ask club owners to save staff from furlough
One of the main storylines for clubs and leagues throughout the global shutdown of sports has been the question of how to support employees. From stadium workers who are contracted for game days to club personnel, many teams have chosen to furlough or otherwise suspend payment to these employees.
The Premier League clubs have faced major backlash from their supporters after failing to pay staff during the halt in play. Many athletes have stepped up to donate funds to these workers.
Pro Soccer USA writer Pardeep Cattry argues the expectation for supporting these workers should fall to the owners of individual clubs, rather than the generosity of players.
Throwback: New England rookie Zack Schilawski breaks record with 11-minute hat trick
Only three rookies have ever recorded a hat trick in New England Revolution history, and none have done it with quite the same style as Zack Schilawski in 2010 — three goals in 11 minutes in his home town.
Pro Soccer USA writer Julian Cardillo took a look back at a key date in Revs history when Schilawski netted three second half goals for a 4-1 win over Toronto FC in the team’s home opener.
