Details on the practical impact of the ban are still emerging, and we are still sorting through the potential impact on our players and their families.

We are very proud of the constructive and measured manner in which Michael Bradley expressed his feelings on the ban. It is our deepest hope that this type of strong and steady leadership will help to guide us through these difficult times.
