Holdout (sports)

In professional sports, a holdout (also written as hold out) occurs when a player fails to report to their team, usually before the start of a season, or fails to perform the services outlined in the terms of their contract. Players holdout for various reasons, however the desired outcome is usually to renegotiate their contract to more favorable terms.[1] The length of a holdout can range from just a few days to an entire season, while some players have utilized just the threat of a holdout to try to gain leverage in contract negotiations.[2][3]
