To be an elite striker, you have to be fearless. As the fastest player in Major League Soccer history to reach 100 goals, Bradley Wright-Phillips has shown he’s as fearless as they come. But the current world we’re living in even has him worried. In an open and raw conversation, recorded just before the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando, the two-time Golden Boot winner reveals his deep concerns about the “tough ask” to leave his family behind, the long-standing racism in soccer, and whether activism has become a “trend.” Bradley also shares how leaving the New York Red Bulls and being written off after an injury has him energized and excited to prove himself with his new club, LAFC.
