This post by the USLPA needs to be seen and read.

The league withheld the materials from the USL Championship trophy celebration in retaliation for the players walking out in their USLPA shirts along with cutting out broadcast angles with that message.

Players from FC Tulsa and Pittsburgh Riverhounds walk onto the field for the USL Championship final wearing shirts saying “USL HQ: Pro Rel? Try pro standards first.”

USL HQ has announced a new first-division league including promotion & relegation in 2028.

My Co-Host and I spoke about the recent CBA struggles of the USL PA in the 162th episode of our German USL Pod.

One question still baffles me: "How can we have D1 & Pro/Rel in two seasons, if the USL HQ can't even treat/pay their D2 players as it's needed?"

Idk, man! 🤷 #StandUpForStandards

That explains, why the livestream of #TULvPIT switched ASAP to some random college sports game, two seconds after the final whistle happened.

USL: Do better or go do something else than working with humans.

USL HQ, you're a bunch of big ego tiny weenie cowards!

T-minus five minutes!

I'll soon talk with former NASL & USL Legend: Connor Tobin of the USL PA about the current CBA struggle with the USL!

An important matter and I hope you appreciate it!

This should be non-negotiable
Players deserve basic standard rights such as a living wage, proper housing, healthcare and other professional standards.
If you want pro-rel ambitions, then take care of the ones who impact your clubs the most

What a message from both sets of players to start the USL Championship Final, wearing t-shirts that say:

"USL HQ: PRO REL? TRY PRO STANDARDS FIRST" Major statement made from the USL Players Association.

I just finished the recording of our 160th Sideline - #DerUSLPodcast episode.

My Co-Host and I spoke deeply about the USL PA struggle and the petty behaviour of the USL HQ at the final.

So even in Germany, this matter will be discussed!

Pausing on our regular program to express solidarity with the USLPA. Professional players in a professional league shouldn’t have to negotiate for healthcare. #StandUpForStandards
Players of FC Tulsa and Pittsburgh Riverhounds emerge for the USL final wearing shirts calling for better working conditions. The USLPA want "real wages, safety, healthcare, and year-round support."

"Pro rel? Try pro standards first," reads the message on the shirts.

Leagues can talk about growth, expansion, and the future of the sport — but none of that matters without real professional standards for the players who make it all possible.

We stand with USL players fighting for the basics.
