Champions on Strike
The headline in El PaÃs said it all: "The strike of champions."
As of Friday, August 12, the AFE (Spanish Footballers' Association) union resolved to strike for at least the first two matchdays of the Spanish professional football season.
Their reason is  a crisis in Spanish football related to the credit bust that, thus far, has left at least 200 players in First and Second Divisions owed €50 million in wages.
