Respect the Players. Protect the Game.
The Independent Supporters Council expresses our support for the USLPA and calls for the USL to agree to a resolution that reflects the true value of the players.
As the collective voice of the fans who invest time, energy, and resources into the USL Championship, we are writing to express our full and unconditional support for our players as they continue their journey towards a Collective Bargaining Agreement and a possible strike. We understand that a strike is a tool of last resort, and the decision to walk away from the game they love is not one the players take lightly.
We recognize that the demands from the USLPA for professional standards are not just reasonable; they are essential for the health and future of the sport. A team is nothing without the athletes who play for it. While management provides the infrastructure, the players provide the heart, the skill, and the reason we tune in and show up week after week. To see them undervalued or unheard is a slight to the fans as well.
Our position is firm and as follows:
We support their absence: We would rather see an empty field today than a compromised future for these athletes.
We demand a fair resolution: We urge you to return to the bargaining table immediately with a proposal that reflects the true value these players bring to this organization.
Our loyalty remains with the players: Our passion for our clubs is rooted in the people on the roster, and we stand with them until a just agreement is reached.
United Soccer League, the message from the supporters is simple.
The standards are clear. Meet them.

Following a local team has always felt more meaningful when the players and supporters share a strong sense of community. I have seen how quickly fans become invested when they feel their voices and contributions matter, especially when supporting athletes through difficult negotiations. Fair treatment helps build trust on both sides and can shape the future of a club for years. Even when planning something unrelated, such as custom home floor plans, the best results usually come from listening carefully to the people who will ultimately use and support the space.
As a fan, this is exactly right. The players are the reason any of us show up week after week, and treating them fairly isn’t charity, it’s just recognizing who actually makes the league worth watching. An empty stadium for a season beats years of watered-down football. Hope the USL comes back to the table and gets this done. I usually enjoy watching Taylor Sheridan’s shows, and Landman is one of my favorites.
Unmatched Quality and Fit on the TOA Classic Jacket!"
"I ordered the toa classic jacket from Trapped Out Apparels, and the quality blew me away! The jacket feels heavy and premium, the YKK zippers glide smoothly, and the fit over my favorite hoodie is spot-on. You can tell real thought went into the shoulder tailoring and lining fabric. If you want a legit, heavy-duty jacket that looks amazing on the street, Trapped Out Apparels is the brand to get
It’s spot-on that a strike is a last resort, especially for players who clearly love the game—but the USLPA’s push for real professional standards is exactly what the league needs to thrive long-term. Fans pour so much into the stands, yet the players are the heartbeat, and their value shouldn’t be negotiable.
