The Trinity Rodman situation was at a standstill. The Spirit had put forth a contract, Rodman’s camp agreed to the terms, only to have the league veto the deal. The controversy came from the reported structure of the backloaded deal.
The club and the NWSLPA claimed the deal was perfectly legal under the CBA, banking on the expected rise in the cap amid the league’s consistent revenue growth.
However, the deal hit a brick wall when NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman’s office vetoed the contract, claiming that the structure “violated the spirit” of the CBA.
The NWSLPA went on a media push in the aftermath, gearing up for a fresh round of labor negotiations. That was until Thursday night.
