D.C. United to honor Virginia Tech
with special jerseys
(AP) - D.C. United will wear maroon
jerseys with a Virginia Tech emblem during their game Saturday at the
Columbus Crew to honor the victims of the shooting rampage at the
university.
United's game-worn jerseys then will be auctioned next week, with
proceeds going to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund.
"With several staff members intimately involved with the university, and
given the close proximity of the Virginia Tech campus to Washington,
D.C., we felt acutely motivated to act in support of this cause," United
executive vice president Stephen Zack said.
