We stand with the players!! #standupforstandards

Today’s moment of stillness and solidarity at Keyworth #StandUpForStandards

When your negotiation demands are so rudimentary even the scab ref joins in #StandUpForStandards

As with the first two weeks, the players continue to stand in place for the first minute to bring awareness to the ongoing dispute with the league about improving standards in a new collective bargaining agreement. #SAvNM #StandUpForStandards

Confirmed:

Indy Eleven walked on the pitch with the phrase:

"Do you stand with the players, USSF? #StandUpForStandards."

Player safety, fair wages, and real respect shouldn’t be negotiable—especially in a league growing as fast as USL Championship. Standing with the players demanding the standards they deserve. #StandUpForStandards ✊

It’s time for the USL Championship to show up with actual respect for the players in the form of a fair union contract.

America’s unions, along with USL fans across the country are in solidarity with USL players as they stand still and #StandUpForStandards ✊

The USL championship league wouldn’t be possible without the skill and talent of the players. It’s time they got the fair contract they deserve. America’s unions and USL fans across the country have your backs, USL players! #StandUpForStandards

To USL Players: Your unity is powerful. We are with you as you #StandUpForStandards.

It’s a great league but the players will always be the number one asset #StandUpForStandards

Whats life in the US?

#standupforstandards

Hashtag dead.

Here’s my content
As war is bred.

What life is this?

With this disrespect?

#standupforstandards

Or who gave no consent.
Oil theft.
War led.
Missile sent.

Hate their language
Build parameters
Raise your borders
Jails are sent

I got cells of debt
Held hostage
For the time that’s left

No water in Texas

Newfound well
MX..

Tell me what standards are like.

#standupforstandards

Emotionally tight
Who’s immature
Who thinks with their head
Who’s more than just head
This is vulgar, right?

But Donald T grabbed that P
Ain’t that what he said?

Or did I misinterpret?
I heard disrespect.
No consent.

….

I gotta lot on my mind
Hit rewind
Wind blew
Goes my life
Whirlwind

What are standards right?

#standupforstandards

What are boundaries like?
Still work mainly full time.
Salary still part time
Choking in plain sight
Text—DING!
“Want some free school?
Come join the army plight!”

Not my fight.

At every USL game this weekend, USL players paused play for 60 seconds in a powerful show of solidarity.

They’re united and ready to fight for the fair contract they deserve.

As the players stand still, America’s unions stand with them.

Shoutout to the OCSC fans for supporting the USL players 👏

The broadcast may be cutting the player protest from the feed but the fans continue to spread the message #StandUpForStandards

Players deserve better, CBA NOW!

Solidarity. ✊ #StandUpForStandards
