The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

To follow up with this, I took a couple of minutes to email my season ticket rep to simply express my support for this and to ask that it be directed to the people who make those decisions to make something happen. STMs should consider doing something similar with their reps.
We root.
We build community.
Per Spirit staff, after many double checks, next season the Spirit will have:
Spirit in Bloom
Shockwave
New kit
Not sure how you can represent “Chocolate City” and not celebrate Blackness.
It would be nice for the Spirit to have a Black Excellence night during the season to celebrate the culture upon which this District was molded. It doesn’t have to be June 19th or February for Black excellence to be centered by any team.
We love the solidarity from our friends at @spiritsquadron.bsky.social 🫶🏾
With other teams finding a way to celebrate the Black community, nothing is not a choice, @washingtonspirit.com.
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
BEST KIT IN ALL OF SPORTS
I need the Spirit to understand you can’t spend the season selling I 💛 DC shirts and then not celebrate the black community who have been the most influential group on our city’s culture
It seems I missed some things today. A theme night to celebrate Black culture, when other cultures are celebrated with theme nights, isn't a big ask of every NWSL team. We are Black every day. You don't have to limit those days to February or June. Several teams found a way, including a new one.
🚨WOSO Fam 🚨
If you are a fan from the following teams and are willing to talk to me about Your team not having a Juneteenth/ black excellence night please send me a DM.
The Following teams are:
Racing Louisville
Portland Thorns
Orlando Pride
San Diego Wave
Seattle Reign
Gotham FC
NC Courage
Green Line Soccer is where it’s at!

We did a thing!
And as always part of the proceeds will go to support our community here in DC with a portion of the funds being directed to the @washingtoninformer.com in a time when local journalism is being attacked.
The signing of Claudia Martínez, the first Paraguayan player in NWSL history, highlights the Washington Spirit's increasingly global roster.
@kgier.bsky.social spoke to Gift Monday, Rosemonde Kouassi, Gabby Carle, and more about their team's embrace of international talent:
A+ work from @rachaelt.bsky.social and a must read for all #WoSo fans!
Gonna bump this again for anyone who missed it.
you really don’t need artificial rules to achieve parity, all you actually need is owners who give a shit

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals
