Two finals, two leagues ā completely different endings. League One got the full trophy moment. Championship got noneā¦ because players wore shirts asking for better standards. Canceling the moment doesnāt cancel the message. #StandUpForStandards @USLPlayers

The continued successful development of soccer in this country must happen at all levels and must always start with the players ā without them, there is no game. USL Championship players are not being treated fairly in this negotiation, and that means that both the players and
The League is chasing Pro Rel headlines. Players are chasing rent. That ends tonight. Before kickoff, players will walk out wearing: PRO REL? TRY PRO STANDARDS FIRST. Pro Rel means nothing without real wages, safety, healthcare, and year-round support. Share this.
