| from a position of power | с позиции силы (Then why is MLS threatening to enact the Force Majeure Clause and a lockout?
I don’t have any sources in MLS, so I may be completely wrong in my judgment on this, but my best guess is MLS is trying to find/use any leverage they have to try and negotiate a new CBA with the players. MLS are trying to negotiate from a position of power when they aren’t currently in that position. They want to take advantage of the pandemic to try and profit in the short term. If they can force the players into a worse CBA, they win, and the owners’ pockets get even happier – by Connor Somerville Tamerlane) |
