Seattle Sounders midfielder Stephen King talks with David Falk

The 24-year-old former University of Maryland product really has some outstanding quotes but what really peaked our interest was his quote on the CBA.

"The main points of the negotiations revolve around MLS players deserving the same rights under FIFA that all other players in the world have. FIFA rights include guaranteed contracts, free agency, and the right to negotiate with other MLS teams. We have to sign away our FIFA rights before we are allowed to sign an MLS contract. Outside of FIFA rights, we are fighting for a small rise in player salaries, nothing outlandish. Many players around the league have to find other work in order to pay the bills. From what I hear, there has not been much progress with the negotiations and a lockout on Feb. 1st seems inevitable at this point. Hopefully, progress can be made soon."
