A partir del día de ayer quedó suspendida con carácter transitorio la práctica del fútbol profesional

Subject

Players strike in an ongoing labor dispute with AFA

Description

Sensing that AFA officials and club directors were acting slow to address their concerns, players go on strike at the midway point of the 1948 season. From their vatnage point, AFA officials felt that players were being obstinate, which is why they made the decision to postpone the season. The most vocal critics sustained that players were holding the soccer season hostage with their threats; moderate voices within AFA simply suggested that they re-assess the petitions put forth by the players union (FAA). Unanimously, club representatives suggested postponing the season and formaly backing AFA chief Oscar Nicolini (a member of Perón's cabinet).
