so says nick garcia and marvell wynne. if the players do strike i have a bad feeling that it would kill the league.

baseball needed a juiced-up homerun chase to get fans back.
the nhl still has not recovered from their lost season in many markets.
and those are two established leagues
"If you are first you are first. If you are second you are nothing."
"I don't approve of your methods."
"Yeah, well... you're not from Chicago."

They should have guaranteed contracts.
Couldn't disagree more. You and I don't have guaranteed contracts. Why should a pro athlete? I think that guaranteed contracts are what hurts the NBA, NHL and MLB.

I hurts MLB the most. Denny Neagal, Mike Hampton, and Milton Bradley come to mind right away as some of the bigger flops.Couldn't disagree more. You and I don't have guaranteed contracts. Why should a pro athlete? I think that guaranteed contracts are what hurts the NBA, NHL and MLB.

Soccer is a different market than other jobs or even sports. If a player's contract isn't guaranteed then teams (or the league) shouldn't be able to block transfers to other teams.
Name one player with a non-guaranteed deal who's had a transfer deal blocked. The ones that have had deals blocked have all been guys that the league has committed to paying a full season to.

The NFL Players Association would love that. The NFL would hate it.

I don't think you're lying, I just think this probably isn't true.

you realize that article is in a Toronto newspaper right?... why would they mention, or talk to, other teams players?When players on an American club start talking strike then I'll listen.
Fuck Canada.

Isn't the standard MLS contract 2 guaranteed years and two option years. Although, I think they can all be dropped at any time before some arbitrary cut-off date.Name one player with a non-guaranteed deal who's had a transfer deal blocked. The ones that have had deals blocked have all been guys that the league has committed to paying a full season to.
I think they should raise the minimum, to keep less players from bypassing MLS entirely. Generation Adidas can't cover everyone.

That's the players association's main point. Raise the minimum and get rid of the developmental contracts that pay only ~20k/year.
