Louisville and Lexington players paused the USL Championship season opener for 60 seconds after kickoff, letting the clock run without play. A fearless show of unity from the USL Players Association as negotiations reach a critical stage. It’s time for the league to act. #StandUpForStandards

Just to be clear, if the USLPA strikes and the USL hires scabs I won’t be talking about or watching the League

Just need to be up front about that

The Northern Guard Supporters stand in solidarity with the players of Detroit City FC and the USLPA. 🚩✊

Also for the record I think the USLPA delaying the strike for a weekend is a mistake because there are large portions of those attending this weekend who won’t even register the protest

I know Mike’s hands are tied but silence on the broadcast regarding why this is taking place is *ruff stuff*

Idk but Daddy Yankee’s β€œGasolina” being the theme song of the first USLPA labor action of the 2026 season kinda goes hard

After several hours of bargaining today (March 4), the League made significant movement on key issues identified by the USPA, including:
β€’ Further increases to minimum compensation to $40,000
β€’ Elimination of in-season buyouts
β€’ Additional protections related to team contraction
β€’ League-level bonuses for player awards and championship teams
β€’ Established pay rates for League-level promotional and commercial appearances
β€’ These proposals reflect meaningful concessions - including on issues of substantial importance to the League and Clubs - in an effort to help bridge remaining gaps.
As we have consistently stated, successful collective bargaining requires meaningful participation and compromise from both parties. We remain ready to continue negotiations at any time to reach a fair and sustainable agreement.

Lol at the USL realizing that the USLPA wasn’t fucking around and are now so desperately trying to save face in order for the season to start tomorrow

Quote from Washington Times editorial board

"[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

I find it so fascinating that former colonial powers who sailed all over the world without a single thought for anyone are now so concerned with borders being sacrosanct

Fantastic move for Taylor but the mention of β€œtop 5 fee” makes me wonder if Diego Luna’s fee makes that list

El Paso is near and dear to Phil's heart, but after a miraculous home playoff game, it seems the Locomotive are set to derail.

Can their attack make up for what might be the worst back line in the USL?

We'll talk about it LIVE tonight at 9pm ET/6pm PT!

It would be great if the top two stories about the executive branch were not a huge multinational child rape coverup and the establishment of a gulag of concentration camps

Not sure there’s a worse thing in modern corporate life than someone telling a joke on a teams call that you have to come off of mute just to fake laugh at

The fact that Bad Bunny's halftime show made white bigots angry and feel excluded is A GOOD THING. It's one of the best things about it. It's not a problem to solve. It's a solution to pursue. Bigots *should* feel excluded. We should find *more* ways to celebrate the reality of USian diversity.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the TaΓ­nos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
