Former USSF President Sunil Gulati "began his testimony" on Tuesday in the "legal war waged by the National American Soccer League against Major League Soccer and the U.S. Soccer Federation" after he was originally scheduled to testify on Friday. The trial is "expected to run until February, unless a settlement is reached sooner." NASL filed the initial antitrust lawsuit against USSF in 2017, then six months later, filed an amended complaint with MLSnamed as a co-defendant with NASL claiming the two conspired to create an anticompetitive environment that led to NASL "being denied the sanctioning needed to compete as a professional league." Gulati's and MLS Commissioner Don Garber's testimony will be "must-watch testimonies" (THE ATHLETIC, 1/21).
