Does anyone have any new information regarding the possibility of the MLS strike this year? I am excited about the start of the season this weekend and watching Kaka in Orlando, but it is seeming more and more certain that there isn't going to be a season, at least not this weekend. Does anyone know any more?
I personally think it would be disastrous for both the players and the league to have much of a work stoppage this year as this is the first year the league is actually going to get credible coverage. If it starts with a strike, even if I agree with the player's position, I think it kills all the momentum the league is getting. I think it would be better for both sides to agree to a one year extension with just the salary increase with an agreement to continue discussing it through next off season.
