John and Kaylor went to Tulsa, Oklahoma and were treated to some of the most magical moments the Magic City could muster.
The USL Final was a battleground on and off the pitch, and the match was a perfect encapsulation of it all.

I knew something was up with not having a trophy presentation
Disgraceful from the League, completely illustrative of what the Players are saying. If you can’t take a little heat how are you going to ever be a First Division League?

This post by the USLPA needs to be seen and read.
The league withheld the materials from the USL Championship trophy celebration in retaliation for the players walking out in their USLPA shirts along with cutting out broadcast angles with that message.

What a message from both sets of players to start the USL Championship Final, wearing t-shirts that say:
"USL HQ: PRO REL? TRY PRO STANDARDS FIRST" Major statement made from the USL Players Association.
