The fight is over. For now.
With Major League Soccer owners and players coming to a temporary détente in their interminable labor fight, the parties can finally turn their focus to the battles on the field. The Collective Bargaining Agreement has been ratified by both parties, and there will be labor peace at least until Dec. 2, 2021. At that point, the parties will once against have the chance to revisit the CBA — should conditions warrant — but barring a major turn for the worse in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, there will be a 2021 season.
