“I feel very close to the players and I am at a loss as to how to respond when I am told that the player’s union suggests that they are being treated unfairly. The MLS is seeking to build astrong league for all players, fans and owners. The Earthquakes and the majority of MLS teams did not generate a profit in 2009, nor do they expect to generate a profit in 2010. I believe that theprofitability goal should be as much of a concern for the players and their union as it is to the owners.”
