Come for the Trinity Rodman goal, stay for the Trinity Rodman x Emma Hayes celly 😂 🎥 USWNT

we should all be so lucky to have someone who loves us like trin loves the spirit - what a generational player in every which way

the league tried its damnedest to mess this up, and if rodman didn't have the connection to dc and the community of supporters at audi field, she would be yet another star leaving. they'll tout this as a league-wide win, it is not, the win is the property of the women's soccer community in dc.

Becky Sauerbrunn on Instagram, “I’m choosing to release this video today, January 13th, because right now the US Supreme Court is deliberating a case that could change the future of women’s sport.” An important video:

becky sauerbrunn has always been, and will always be, that girl

We had a good run

CONmissioner Berman:

one of the roles of the league should be to mitigate the impact that systemic racism from media, fans and coaches has on players and the game, not legitimize it. the hip rule exacerbates the racial wage gap, capitalizes on bias, encourages inequitable treatment, and leaves the league worse for it.

one thing that’s become very obvious about jessica berman’s nwsl is that owners would still much rather pay lawyers than players

Wild that only two countries played women's soccer this year.

Portland Thorns, Kansas City Current, & North Carolina Courage fans to Ella: #NWSL

39 members of Congress penned a letter to Jessica Berman “We urge the NWSL to work in good faith with the NWSLPA and Ms. Rodman to resolve this matter in a timely and transparent manner consistent with federal labor law requiring that the terms of collectively bargained agreements be honored”

what i enjoy about 5 minute halves of extra time is that they don't make me want to die

I'm so goddamn proud of us tonight. The fascists have hundreds of millions of dollars to spend trying to convince women's sports fans that exclusion will protect us, but we know better, and we're building a grassroots movement to prove it

Trinity Rodman on love from Spirit fans: “I’ve always talked about how great the @spiritsquadron.bsky.social is, and DC as a whole, and we’re really bummed we couldn’t be having a parade now going back hopefully they’re still proud and we can try again next year.”

To every single player, coach, staff, and employee at the @washingtonspirit.com, you embraced this District and gave us something to believe in. Thank you for allowing us to embrace you back. Thank you for giving us that foundation of belief. We'll be back stronger next year. And we'll dominate.

that was an incredibly emotional final whichever way you slice it - but i want to say, despite the political bullshit embroiling nwsl leadership - i have loved this nwsl season and every other one. women's sports are a gift and something worth fighting for.

shoutout @jennatonelli.bsky.social for another great year of coverage shoutout @838carlisle.bsky.social for the best woso newsletter in the game (sorry) shoutout Yael, you can GM two teams at once, right?

Give Yael Averbuch West her flowers 💐 The Yael-Juan Carlos partnership has worked exceptionally well.

Spirit fans, I am so sorry this season didn’t end with a ring. Y’all put your heart & soul behind your club, and we all felt it. Feel the emotions you need to. Let it in & let it hurt.

the problem with being a neutral is that any result is sad because when someone wins someone loses! this is breaking news about sports

i want adrian to be the coach we think he is, the coach we want him to be, and take full responsibility for the choice. and i want him to never let hal think it was on her. i want this to make him a better coach and i want hal to know her coach has her back.

Hal Hershfelt hurts you. You don’t get to hurt her.

I love that she’s lobbying the ref while getting medical attention

michelle buy her a new ankle thanks

i wonder if a time will ever come when i can once again see esthair on the screen and not cringe

"Free D.C." loud and clear on TV on CBS.

Free DC chants now echoing in Paypal Park

Seattle Reign vs. Seattle Reign intrasquad scrimmage type of xG

What the signs say 🗣️🏳️‍⚧️

The "D.C., rise up" chants are very audible on the CBS broadcast. Sounds like a great showing by the Spirit fans for a cross-country trip on short notice.

spirit squadron y'all are LOUD

out of curiosity why do y'all do your anthem acapella

Everyone has already said it but I fucking love NWSL finals. And NWSL people. This shit rules.
