Dear USL,
Your league ain't shit without your players. Step the fuck up, do the right thing, stop fighting the USLPA and take care of your players.

What a message from both sets of players to start the USL Championship Final, wearing t-shirts that say:
"USL HQ: PRO REL? TRY PRO STANDARDS FIRST" Major statement made from the USL Players Association.

🏴🎉 Unbelievable scenes for Scotland as they qualify for the World Cup thanks to stoppage time goals from Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean, who scored from the halfway line!!!
Check the ebb and flow of that last quarter of the game!

IMO USL has no choice but to change the calendar as well. I’ll get more into that this week. But here’s a starter.

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".

I wonder if the MLS calendar shift puts pressure on USL to keep the current schedule. A calendar shift proposal didn't get a lot of traction for USL previously, so maybe a moot point.
