## Color of Ultimate

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. The two teams were coached by Jason Simpson and Tuba Benson-Jaja, two prominent players and coaches of color. Team Tuba defeated Team Simpson 20–19 in overtime. A catch made by Team Tuba player Delrico Johnson was selected for the ESPN SportsCenter Top 10 plays of the day. The game had a widely positive reception. The showcase game was followed by a conversation about steps the sport can take to increase its diversity. 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, CA in January 2020.
