Washington, D.C. (August 28, 2012) - D.C. United Head Coach Ben Olsen, midfielder-forward Chris Pontius, and defender Mike Chabala today recorded PSA's for "You Can Play," an organization dedicated to ensuring equality, respect and safety for all athletes, without regard to sexual orientation. The PSA's will air as part of the in-stadium program for "United Night Out" on 9/15 against the New England Revolution.

A portion of the script reads as follows: "We are united. We are united in pursuit of championships. We are united in our service to the community. We are united in support of all our teammates, coaches, and fans - gay or straight. All that matters to us is your talent, work ethic, and passion. If you can play, you can play."

Athletes from around the country, both amateur and professional have joined this admirable cause. More information can be found at www.YouCanPlayProject.org or at www.dcunited.com . Click here to watch the video: http://www.dcunited.com/news/2012/08/video-you-can-play
