LA Galaxy’s Lletget, Schelotto on Wednesday’s player strike: “We want to see change”

Two days after a player strike led to the cancellation of their game, and one day before their next scheduled game, LA Galaxy head coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto and midfielder Sebastian Lletget spoke to reporters Friday about the unprecedented week.

The Galaxy, who were scheduled to host the Seattle Sounders Wednesday before players on eight additional teams in the league joined a wildcat strike initiated by the NBA and WNBA earlier in the day to protest disproportionate violence against Black people in the United States, described the events that day as fast-moving and in some ways difficult to process.
