From ESPN colleague @lizzybecherano.bsky.social ...MLS approves calendar change, but there's no agreement yet with the MLS Players Association on the switch. One source described the talks between #MLS and the #MLSPA as "teetering".

All these people are profoundly evil. But that said, I'm glad they are feuding. A harbinger of what will happen when Emperor Nero isn't around.
