The Hustle, along with the
Atlanta Soul, sponsored and supported the first Color of Ultimate game, a mixed showcase game held in
Atlanta on June 22, 2019. The Color of Ultimate games are a project of the Atlanta Flying Disc Club (AFDC) Project Diversity initiative aimed at raising the profiles of elite ultimate players of color from around the world. The Color of Ultimate: ATL game was the first Color of Ultimate showcase game. According to AFDC Project Diversity, "the goal of the game was to bring awareness about the socioeconomic and racial inequity of the sport of ultimate. The game highlighted elite players of color from around the world, brought awareness to the racial and socioeconomic inequities of ultimate, and exposed the sport to those outside of our community encouraging more people of color to play ultimate." The Color of Ultimate: ATL featured almost 50 players of color from across the United States and Colombia. A documentary was produced with the support of
USA Ultimate about the game and its impact on players, spectators, and their communities. It was followed by a second beach ultimate game sponsored in part by the
American Ultimate Disc League and produced in partnership with the
LA Throwback beach ultimate tournament in
Santa Monica, California in January 2020. == References ==
