I’ll believe that fans can mount a serious pro-player demonstration of any size when I see it.

As far as “evening it out more,” there’s no such thing. That’s silly.

Marco, perhaps you misunderstood. I was basically agreeing with you. And used the example of the Thunder to make the point that if you are not careful, even American sports franchises can get into irresolvable financial trouble. Meaning MLS owners have a point in insisting on a fiscally conservative approach to player salaries and league finances generally. Players probably do merit seem additional freedoms (some of the restrictions seem unnecessarily harsh), and the minimum pay levels are a bit serf-like, but in general, I tend to agree that the players need to keep their focus on the bigger picture of success for the whole league – without that, all other issues are moot.
I have seen similar union craziness as you describe in my line of work – at a time of massive budget deficits, when all faculty had pay freezes, and when there were cuts all across the university, our clerical union went on strike saying they needed pay raises to make everything fair. Were they joking? Where did they think the money was going to come from? I am philosophically very much pro union, but sometimes I wonder what they are thinking. An MLS players strike would be nuts. Talk about cutting off your nose despite your face!

Peter – i sent you a note once before and i’ll state it once again…you have something alot of players/coaches/critics/management don’t have — and that is a “soccer brain”…
All well said…and if egos don’t get in the way (good luck on that one…) perhaps they could read through your options and come out with a solution…
I understand the players “stand” yet i criticize their movement of it now – with poor attendance except a few – and really low television ratings, i scratch my head and them…the MLS is not in the position to meet all of their demands…there is no doubt a “movement” for soccer in this country right now – yet i’d have to be honest and say it’s all about the USMNT and the Euro leagues – not the MLS…not yet anyway…and that is my message to the players — “not yet”…
