Things are about to get interesting. Okay, technically they’re already there. As we’ve been discussing this week in our daily link posts, the league and its players are in the middle of yet another Collective Bargaining Agreement discussion that is beginning to turn ugly.
The initial deadline imposed by Major League Soccer to reach a deal on a revised CBA with the MLS Players Association came and went Thursday evening. But today began with an update from the league.
MLS announced a one-week extension for negotiations. This time, if the deadline passes without a deal, MLS said they will terminate the CBA and lock the players out.
