Spirit Squadron

Prideraiser is finally here! This year, we have chosen to raise funds for @smyal.bsky.social because SMYAL supports and empowers LGBTQ+ youth. Their programs are designed to provide queer and trans youth with safe spaces to express themselves, develop critical skills, and build community in the DMV.

We stand with the Rose City Riveters and our Transgender and LGBTQ+ community. We see you; We support you; We protect our own; This is bigger than the pitch. Hate has no place in our sections, especially hateful messages about gender and identity. If you come for one, you can expect us all.

Spoke with Sandy MacIver this week about her first stay in the U.S. at Clemson, settling in with the Spirit last year and how she’s grown into a key piece of Washington's stingy defense in net over the course of this season. For @washsunmetro.bsky.social: www.washingtonsun.com/sports/spiri...

Today is the perfect day to donate to the Riveters Prideraiser 👇👇

NORTH END STANDS WITH TRANS FANS, PLAYERS & COMMUNITY COME FOR ONE, EXPECT US ALL #BAONPDX

The Riveters will not be drumming or chanting as long as transphobes are allowed in the stadium. In the North End. #BAONPDX

🌸NEW EP🌸 Annie, Ella & André were joined by Sarah Taylor, winner of DC Scores’ silent auction, to discuss the District’s domination of the Empire, and resurrection of Rowdy Audi! 🟢 open.spotify.com/episode/5QRy... 🍎 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... #nwsl

Beat Gotham and clinched playoffs in one afternoon. A goal from Lucia, a huge performance from the group, and a very Rowdy Audi (thanks @spiritsquadron.bsky.social @roseroomco.bsky.social)! Leading this club with James, Kim, and Michele is a lot of fun. More to do. Let’s go!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ESME!! 🫶🤩🥳

We gotta tap the brakes on the Trinity Rodman USWNT discourse, and call out some questionable takes from McCall Zerboni on Attacking Third. Special thanks to Bridie O’Toole, and @secondball.bsky.social for their analysis!

IT’S IF YOU’RE FROM JERSEY YOU’RE LOSING TO DC DAY!!!

Loved seeing our @cloud9goth.bsky.social friends, and thankful to those who donated to our fundraiser for @ayudadmv.bsky.social 🫡🫡

Absolute scenes as the Spirit celebrate finally beating Gotham, and clinching a playoff spot

All in a day’s work ✅🌸

THE SPIRIT DID IT! THEY BROKE THE CURSE!!

Back from injury and in your lineup is LEICY SANTOS! And Clara Luvanga also gets the start today.

We agree. This loophole in the code of conduct is unacceptable and a slippery slope. This fight is not over.

A fan has a ticket in section 119, row 15. Free to a Spirit fan - if anyone wants it, comment or dm us!

Anywho… LEICY HAS RETURNED FROM WAR

🚨LEICY WILL BE AVAILABLE🚨

Adrián González says the Spirit's internationals are collectively in "pretty good" condition coming back to the team, & the team has been cautious about their loading. He's glad that they got the minutes they did while away.

Fall is finally here! Stay warm with our @freedcproject.bsky.social x Spirit Squadron scarf, which you can order thru the link in our bio or at our table in the stadium. Proceeds go to @ayudadmv.bsky.social to support their amazing work helping immigrants in the DMV. ‼️ scarves are pickup only ‼️

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GABBY!!! 🥳🫶

Tamara making her senior national team debut for Brazil!🤩🇧🇷 @selecaofemininadefutebol Congratulations, Tamara!! 🫶🥳

51' "Free DC!" chants from the crowd, following the tradition at Spirit games.

A noticeable "Free D.C." rang out at Audi Field in the 52nd minute (when 51 appears on the game clock). It has been tradition with the @spiritsquadron.bsky.social since last year: wtop.com/washington-s...

🚨1 TICKET AVAILABLE🚨 If you want/need one (1!) ticket to go to USWNT v. Spain in a couple hours you should contact @bootspod.bsky.social immediately!!

This was a very fun chat expanding on the specific details of the Spirit's recent unimpressive results, parsing the real problems from the bad bounces. If you tolerate this account or the many thousands of words Green Line Soccer articles tend to be, this is 100% for you (as is xOG in general)

We see the news. However, we are pretending to not see the news.

Inbox: The Washington Spirit have traded Gift Monday to Boston Legacy for $500,000 in transfer threshold funds, & retains a 20% sell-on clause should Boston transfer her elsewhere in the future.

What transpired last night, with one of our leaders being attacked, is an absolute all time low. This community has so much potential for good but the inconsistency in its treat and protection of black and brown fans makes us question why we’re even here. It has to be better than this.

Sports wasn’t a big part of Domo Wells’ life, but that didn’t affect her ability to design for Washington Spirit. At the root of it, she was creating something for D.C. — and she knew her hometown well, @samdelgado.bsky.social writes:

The tail end of the Spirit presser included a funny little goodbye (and a couple of surprise cameos!)

Tonight's matchwinner 🤩🇹🇿
