MLS players boycott training in apparent labour impasse. MORE:
It appears players in"multiple markets" also stayed home amidst reports they faced a threatened lockout by the league.
"Players made a CHOICE to focus their time and energy on an important decision which includes the threat of a lockout instead of volunteering to attend on-field training for a tournament we already agreed to attend," tweeted Minnesota United midfielder Ethan Finlay, a member of the MLSPA's executive board."Refuse is not the word I would use."
On Sunday night, the Players Association announced its membership had approved a package for the 2020 season included player salary reductions and additional concessions. It did not provide specifics although the proposal included participating in a summer tournament in Orlando. "I can't sleep some of these nights!," tweeted Mark-Anthony Kaye, a Canadian international who plays for Los Angeles FC."My mind just races and goes on and on at the amount of possible scenarios in where I lose my life or I'm harmed by a police officer who took an oath to protect us. The police force has lost its credibility, the CHANGE needs to start internally!"
