Americans at home: MLS players should make a stand in CBA dispute with owners

As a lockout looms in MLS with the February 4th deadline approaching, the hard line that the owners are taking in the labor dispute seems evermore draconian. In the few days since the deadline for players to essentially accept whatever the owners offered, at the very least the PR battle has turned against the league. The Independent Supporters Council announced their support for the MLSPA, the league has turned off comments on MLSsoccer.com, and the “players are ready to play” campaign launched by players is certainly more appealing to fans than anything the owners have come up with.
