MLS will not be Back for FC Dallas, and it appears it wasn’t the club’s choice.
The wording on MLS’s statement said “FC Dallas have been withdrawn” from the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando—the passive voice making it appear like the rest of the clubs voted Dallas off the island. Rightfully so—MLS believes Dallas brought the coronavirus with them to the MLS bubble, rather than contracting it there.
That seems to be the case with the Fire’s first scheduled opponent, Nashville SC, too. The Athletic’s Sam Stejskal is reporting Nashville has five positive cases, with three more presumed to be positive.
