Laurel Pfahler's response to FCC's statement in response to Laurel Pfahler's 2 week press pass ban for FCC games
In response to this statement from FCC/MLS single entity:
https://www.fccincinnati.com/news/statement-from-fc-cincinnati
> Out of professional decorum, we will not be sharing the details publicly
This statement is weak af. I expect nothing less from FCC/MLS single entity. Control the narrative, control the opposition, monopolize US soccer
- theathletic.com MLS execs Garber, Rodriguez say Open Cup move is for greater good of U.S. soccer
In an exclusive roundtable with The Athletic, commissioner Don Garber and EVP Nelson Rodriguez defended MLS's Open Cup decision
https://archive.md/VS7wX
Biggest takeaway from this quote from Garber > We financially have no involvement in it. We don’t control the brand. We don’t control the state of the facilities.
It confirms my suspicion that MLS wants to be the only name in US soccer and is really pushing for their monopoly. The other takeaway is MLS gaslighting us now in saying this is for the greater good.
I can't wait for MLS to get busted up in an antitrust lawsuit. Fuck single entity.

Do your season tickets include tournaments outside the MLS?
I'm curious to see what other teams include in their membership packages. Last year IMCF gave us a few games out of MLS and included preseason, this was obviously pre Messi. Now we only get the 17 home MLS games and have to pay extra for pre season, League's, and concachamps.

The new season kicks off this week. Our panel of writers deliver their verdicts on the MVP, champions, ‘Season Pass’ team and the young players to watchA full season of Lionel Messi in MLS. The GOAT made an immediate impact for Inter Miami last year, but his best moments came in the Leagues Cup and US Open Cup. There’s no guarantee of success for Inter Miami (see their chaotic pre-season). Messi, however, will surely produce some magic - assuming he can stay fit. Graham Ruthven Continue reading...

Major League Soccer referees protested outside the league's headquarters after being locked out ahead of the beginning of the 2024 season
Major League Soccer referees protested outside the league's headquarters after being locked out ahead of the beginning of the 2024 season. The lockout, a denial of employment by an employer during a labor dispute, was imposed on the referees after they overwhelmingly voted to reject a tentative new union contract agreement in a 95.8% vote, with 97.8% of the 260 union members voting. The union has also alleged unfair labor practices against the MLS and the Professional Referee Organization. The union cited members rejected the deal in part due to an attempt by the MLS and PRO to add a no strike and no lockout deal for the 2024 season and would have frozen wages, rolled back job security protections, and not addressed issues such as high workloads and travel for referees.- What the MLS referee lockout means for North America’s top soccer league Continue reading...
