MLSPA Exec Dir: Union Prepared To Strike If CBA Talks Fail

MLSPA Exec Dir Bob Foose said that the union is "preparing" for a work stoppage if an "agreement can't be reached with the league" on a new CBA. Foose said that the union "has been in consistent discussions with the league," but that the MLSPA "has already begun preparing for a possible work stoppage, with players drawing up plans for alternative housing and training options." Foose: "A strike is never the goal, and it's not our goal." Foose added that he did feel the MLSPA's "strike fund is sufficiently large enough for the players to ride out an extended work stoppage" (ESPN.com, 7/31).
