Terror arrived on Orlando's doorstep. On June 13, Pulse nightclub became the site of the deadliest mass shooting in the United State's history. Instead of being discouraged by fear, a groundswell of support encircled the LGBT and Orlando communities.

The MLS joined forces with Orlando to pledge their support in wake of the attacks. Orlando City SC players adorned shirts with rainbow hearts and #OrlandoUnited on the front, the corner flags were swapped to rainbow colors and 49 seats were set off with balloons for the 49 victims of the shooting.

On Sunday night, The New York Red Bulls became the latest MLS team to show solidarity for the Orlando community. Players wore black armbands with "Orlando" in yellow text, the South Ward displayed a gay pride flag and the arena shared a moment of silence before the game.

"I was looking for rainbow ties and all that kind of stuff and it wasn't easy to find," Red Bulls coach Jesse Marsch said after Monday's practice. "Ideologically I think we have to stand up for what we believe in and we have to stand up for each other."

Marsch continued, "The more that as a nation we can come together and support each other, the stronger we are and the more that we'll have to ability to fight this."

The Orlando shooting struck particularly close to home for Red Bulls captain Dax McCarty. Orlando is a 20 minute drive away from McCarty's hometown, and the Florida-native played one season for the Ajax Orlando Prospects.

"You know, I never root for any teams in our conference to get points," McCarty said to reporters after Sunday night's game. "But I was very upset when Orlando City didn't get three points last night. I thought they deserved it for that community and that fanbase. It meant a lot to me to wear that armband tonight."

McCarty, the Red Bulls and the MLS were not alone in supporting the Orlando community. United States men's national team (USMNT) captain Michael Bradley wore a rainbow armband in the team's quarterfinal game against Ecuador, and U.S. soccer released a video to show support for the LGBT community.

Red Bulls forward Bradley Wright-Phillips -- born in London -- discussed the tragedy of the events in Orlando and mentioned how he discussed it with his wife all last week.

"Obviously what happened down there is so sad," Wright-Phillips said after practice on Monday. "Whatever we can do to show support, it's not much wearing an armband. It's good to just make everyone aware. To see Orlando has got everyone's support in this, the little things we do just shows a nice little touch."

Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles touched on the positive side of humanity that appears after heart-wrenching tragedies.

"Even in these difficult times, sometimes you see the best of humanity," Robles said after practice on Monday. "We're doing the best we can, using sport, using community to encourage them and let them know that we're praying for them, we're thinking about them and that we're doing whatever we can to support them."

Robles continued, "I'm hoping that not only are we able to heal together, but get stronger."
