The overused phrase..."Not the result we wanted, but...: is applicable here but...we saw so many beautiful Spirits and spent time taking in the special weekend. The sport & Washington has grown so much from the WUSA days. The Spirits have inspired a city. Proud to be a part of it with all of you

I have a few squadron scarves up for grabs today, say hi if you see me! suggesting a $15 donation to the squadron but mostly I just don’t want to take em home to my room full of squadron stuff!

Breakfast of champions? Happy Spirits Day to all who celebrate #ThatsTheSpirit #RiseUpDC #OneSpirit

Muchas gracias @bayfcsupporters.bsky.social for the warm welcome at Jack's. Loved seeing supporters from around the league, Spirits from our flight & friends. Whatever happens...the weekend is already one to remember. TY 🍻 Big hey & High five to @ebonic25.bsky.social & @simply-crystal.bsky.social

Update: last leg underway. The final flight was delayed by twelve minutes (in true NWSL extra-time fashion). We actually made the connection! Ran through the airport & then hitched a ride on an empty people mover (driver felt bad for me🤣) We found our Spirits! ##ThatsTheSpirit #RiseUpDC #OneSpirit

For the Spirit crowd on here (and any DC/DMV folks), just a fantastic column this morning in the Post from Barry Svrluga. Plus it has the bonus of a @meredithbartley.bsky.social cameo! www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

I present to you...The Relief of the Gigantomachy (Athena slaying the Giant). Wow #NWSL

Wakey wakey y'all. Happy Spirits Day to all who celebrate

You did it! TY!!! MAYBE @washingtonspirit.com can match the fundraising effort if (when) we win tomorrow?

It might not be a bad thing. As a Spirit, DCU, Power and Blues STH...IMO soccer needs to cross promote & help each other. Yes- beyond dissapointed in historical lack of genuine support, but maybe a few new folx get a glimpse of entertaining playoff soccer & can become Spirits. Have hope y'all

You have been killin' it. You've now driven this supporters effort up to 13th! We are SOOO close to meeting/exceeding the new 10K goal. Can you please share with friends to help hit the goal by kickoff tomorrow?! Thank you and have a Spirited Day! #ThatsTheSpirit #RiseUpDC #OneSpirit
