VANCOUVER -- Hassoun Camaras mistakes were starting to pile up. But he made amends for them -- and enabled the Montreal Impact to make history at the same time. Montreal won the Amway Canadian soccer championship Wednesday night as Camaras goal in the 84th minute gave the Impact a 2-2 tie against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Camara emerged as the hero after he had a goal disallowed and took a yellow card in the first half, and could not stop Daigo Kobayashis goal that gave Vancouver a 2-1 lead in the 69th minute. "I had to keep going," said Camara, a 29-year-old French defender. "I knew that I would have a second chance (to score) -- for sure." Camara tied the game 2-2 as he headed in a Justin Mapp corner kick. Although the two-game, aggregate goal series was also a 2-2 draw, the Impact claimed the crown because its two away goals served as the tiebreaker. The Major League Soccer rivals played to a 0-0 tie in the first leg in Montreal. "We are very proud and very happy to have a chance to bring this (Voyageurs Cup) in Montreal," said Camara. The Impact earned a berth in the CONCACAF Champions League, starting in August, which determines qualifiers for the 2014 Club World Cup. Montreal won the Canadian championship for the first time since playing in a lower-tier circuit in 2008. Felipe also scored for the Impact, who trailed 1-0 after the first half. "They never give up," Montreal coach Marco Schallibaum said of his players. "They have a lot of energy, and we know we can always score at any time." Camilo had the other goal for the Whitecaps, who finished runner-up to Toronto FC in the previous four tournaments. Camaras decisive goal came moments after Whitecaps defender Andy OBrien made what briefly appeared to be a game-saving play. He blocked a Marco Di Vaio shot from inside the Vancouver box, setting up the corner kick. "A lapse in marking and a defending breakdown, thats the way the game goes sometimes," said Vancouver goalkeeper Brad Knighton. "Its just very frustrating." The Caps were disappointed again after enjoying an 11-4 shots advantage in the first half before taking nine more attempts in the second half for an overall 20-11 edge. "We managed to give them a chance there, and they finished it away," said Knighton. "Theyre pretty lethal in and around the box and they take advantage of their chances when they come. I just think we need to be more clinical at the end." The Whitecaps entered the game with an unbeaten home record in all competitions. But despite dominating in the first half while enjoying several scoring chances, the hosts could not triumph before a raucous crowd at B.C. Place Stadium. Camilo got Vancouvers offence going right off the opening kick-off as he raced towards a loose ball in the Montreal box and forced Impact goalkeeper Evan Bush to charge out of his net and make a save. In the fourth minute, Camilo lofted home a curling free kick from about 35 yards to give the Whitecaps a 1-0 lead, igniting the crowd. The goal came after he was fouled by Alessandro Nesta. Camilo was in the process of creating another scoring chance as he raced down the left flank in the sixth minute, but he was pulled from behind by Camara, resulting in the Montreal defenders yellow card. "It was very hard for me to deal with that because I knew that, after the next foul, I could take a red card," said Camara. "It was very hard for me to defend like I usually do, so I had to be smart. "But I think I did well, and Im very proud of the job I did today, and the job the team did -- because we deserve (the championship), I think." Montreal started the second half strong and tied the game 1-1 in the 49th minute as Felipe put in a shot from just outside the Vancouver box, forcing the Whitecaps to press for a win because of the away-goal tiebreaker rule. Kobayashi, who saw his first action since suffering an ankle injury May 11 against New York, gave the Whitecaps the lead in the 69th minute. He had placed fellow midfielder Gershon Koffie, who was carried off the field on a stretcher after a hard tackle. A team spokesman said he suffered a right quad strain. Kobayashi booted in a loose ball after he collided with Camara while trying to head in a Nigel Reo-Coker cross. The ball came loose and Kobayashi quickly broke away from the fallen Camara and booted it in. But Camara, determined to keep his chin up, had the last laugh -- and his mistakes were all but forgotten. Notes: Scottish striker Kenny Miller returned to the Vancouver lineup after being out since March 30 with a hamstring injury. He played 73 minutes before being replaced by Harvey, who served as a midfielder as Vancouver adjusted its formation. ... Whitecaps defender Brad Rusin sat out with a calf injury suffered in practice Monday. He is expected to miss two weeks. ... Vancouver striker Darren Mattocks played the final eight minutes in place of Camilo. Mattocks rejoined the team temporarily after being with the Jamaican national team in preparation for World Cup qualifiers. He will miss the Whitecaps next two MLS games, at New York and Seattle.

Republicans buy sneakers, too.With the exception of Im back, it might be the most famous of all quotes attributed to Michael Jordan (even if he didnt use those exact words). The Bulls superstar reportedly made the quip to a friend back in 1990, explaining why he wouldnt publicly endorse black Democratic candidate Harvey Gantt over notorious race-baiter Jesse Helms in the North Carolina Senate race. The quote seems to resurface any time an athlete avoids hot-button issues -- political or otherwise -- with a canned response or careful sidestep.Jordan earned some criticism over the years for his politics (or lack thereof), but most folks back in the day just seemed to accept that he wanted to protect endorsements, that anything beyond basketball was outside his purview. The days of Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali and Jim Brown, among others, had passed, and we seemed to want our athletes to stick to sports. But the pendulum has swung again.Today, after physical talent, authenticity is valued over pretty much anything else in sports. So many readers and viewers are so used to media and advertising spin, they push back against anything or anyone that seems contrived. And with the instant connection of social media, fans dont just want to watch a pro athlete compete or hawk a product, they want to get to know them.That includes their opinions. Many people now expect athletes to speak about controversial topics, the politics of shoe buyers be damned. Over the last few years weve seen a number of high-profile pros making statements, like Miami Heat players donning hoodies after the death of Trayvon Martin and other NBA players wearing I cant breathe shirts after the death of Eric Garner.This past week, after two black men were fatally shot by police and five policemen were killed by a sniper in Dallas, many athletes were back making headlines for joining the national conversation -- and offering more than just thoughts and prayers.On Sunday, players from the New York Liberty wore warmup shirts that read #BlackLivesMatter and #Dallas5 on the front, with #_______ on the back where their names would be. A few days earlier, new Knicks big man Joakim Noah told the New York Post if he were president he would make it illegal to buy guns.Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony, who last year marched in a Baltimore protest following the death of Freddie Gray, challenged his silent peers.Theres NO more sitting back and being afraid of tackling and addressing political issues anymore, wrote Anthony in an Instagram post Friday. Those days are long gone. We have to step up and take charge. We cant worry about what endorsements we gonna lose or whose going to look at us crazy. I need your voices to be heard. We can demand change. We just have to be willing to.Dwyane Wade supported Anthonys take, telling the AP, As an athlete and as a person who has this platform, we like to sell things, we like to be on commercials, we like to do all these things. But when things come up in life I think you have a responsibility as a face of this world, if you believe in something to get behind that.Former NBA player and current TNT analyst Kenny Smiith went one step further on Monday.dddddddddddd Speaking directly to black NBA players via Facebook Live, Smith urged NBA players to allocate 10 percent of their salaries toward programming in the communities in which they live. He also committed to working with the NBA to develop such programs and requested that athletes with sponsorship deals ask the companies they represent to match their contributions.According to Smiths plan, companies should not only accept their athlete endorsers speaking out, they should, in fact, support them in doing so.There are plenty who will defend big-name athletes who use their platform to enact change, but there are also those who dont like the sports waters muddied. Back in 2014, Eli Manning spoke to the Wall Street Journal about the aforementioned I cant breathe shirts, saying You know theres a time and place to make your statements. I dont know if its always during a game.So far the NBA hasnt deterred players from wearing statement shirts over their warmups, but will the league eventually face pushback from the companies who paid big money for logos that cant be seen? What will commissioner Adam Silver do if players decide to take a stance on a hot-button issue that isnt aligned with the politics of the majority of the league?The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Monday that four police officers working Saturdays Lynx game walked off their jobs after players wore T-shirts seeking change. Fans may be seeking more and more authenticity and transparency from athletes, but will they eventually resent the insertion of major social issues into their sports time? Will companies push back against athlete activism, fearing their endorsers may alienate large swaths of our very divided country?Thats a lot of what-ifs. But as weve seen, a lot of athletes arent waiting around for the answers.The expectations we have for our favorite players have changed since Jordans quote about sneakers. (Jordan himself even participated in a fundraiser for President Obama in 2012.) Social media has compelled that shift, making it easier to speak out in the moment, but that can be a limited kind of activism. The most fascinating, inspiring change has been watching athletes express their beliefs in real life - out in their communities, accepting the power their voices and actions carry.***This weeks Thats What She Said podcast features espnW and ESPN The Magazine Editor-in-Chief Alison Overholt.
