May Mailbag: Why the Sounders are protesting Club World Cup bonuses

Jeremiah and Aaron are back with another mailbag episode, answering questions that were submitted in May. Before they dig into some of those questions, though, they spend quite a bit of time discussing the Sounders players’ recent protest over their share of Club World Cup bonuses and specifically owner Adrian Hanauer’s response. As a reminder, all these questions came from our private Discord, which is available to all subscribers at the Supporter ($75/year) level or above.
