Grant Wahl is a senior writer for Sports Illustrated and author of the best seller, The Beckham Experiment. In Tampa for the U.S. Mens National Team’s friendly with El Salvador, Grant joined the MLS Talk podcast Wednesday to talk USMNT and, more urgently, the ongoing negotiations in Major League Soccer over a new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Please quit giving me the Ralston example for giving the players free agency. MLS has brought to the table proposals that deal with the rights of first refusal. The players keep using these extreme examples as their argument for free agency and to say that the MLS is not working with them on this is misleading. Each day i grow more tired of these washed up player rep’s antics.
I agree Rex. Yours may not be the popular opinion, but it needs to be heard. Too many people in the soccer blogosphere soccer web discussion community simply take the union’s talking points as gospel.
