In terms of making the league better, it will hurt the MLS

and they should, im very pro free agency but a strike would devastate the league

Issue is the some of the owners and the league view this as the first step of losing control.

The franchise model just doesn't work in soccer.

I think these two statements ask a big, scary question. Does MLS have a damned chance? If the league/owners won't let go of some control (maybe this CBA brings us to a much looser version of the current system but not quite to the same free agency the rest of the world uses), is MLS doomed to be a failure? I don't want to be defeatist, but if the league/owners won't take any real step towards what must happen to reach their goals of being a top-tier league, why keep fighting?
