Ben is a grad school “friend” of one of the major investors, smh.


Clearly, the search for a new club president was exhaustive, many qualified candidates interviewed, and it is just a coincidence that the guy that organized the Clinton, Bush, etc investment group also happens to be good friends with BO.

He's the managing partner. There's nothing to see here. The rest are investors. And there's more than 43 of them. If you haven't seen the agreement between all of them, you're speculating and causing controversy where none may exist.

I hope the new coach does well.

To be clear, Baldwin and Kang each have 35%. So lumping her in with the other investors doesn’t really show an accurate picture.

What does Ben Olsen know about women's soccer?

Ownership makes crap coaching choices to fill the job as quickly as possible.

Three white men on their press release, again controlling the narrative.

Where is Michele?

DC United is a cheap organization. The record reflects that.

I think it’s a great choice both PR and soccer wise. Don’t point to his record with DC United. He was very limited on what the club would spend as opposed to other franchises.

I like Ben but I would have liked to see at the least a few women candidates.

Could not be more excited about this choice. Someone who knows soccer, loves our city and will help positively shape the club.
