It is a beautiful game. Supporter groups are part of the worst of it - inflated egos as if they are some kind of lobby.

STFU already. They too are misogynists - prove me wrong

How dare Kang try to take that on?


Post above was nothing counter to Kang taking on the name calling. Before everyone thinks she’s a saint, people should know she’s also over-stepping. Her agreement as an investor gives her no access to decision making for running the club.


Perhaps that's true.

How does it negate the problems with the people who ARE running the club?


Two wrongs don't make a right.

Catching up here - what a day!

I’m a white hetero Christian male, mostly conservative but supportive of equal pay, equal rights, gay marriage and protecting the rights of every LGBTQA etc and love every pronoun. I hate Trump. Supported the women’s march

Can I be a fan still?

A sponsor paying well in excess of what cvs health paid because cvs health would not pay more than $150k

Baldwin needs to go, ok yeah.

One investor brought on a major sponsor for the kit when NO COMPANY wanted to support the club. This pumping money into the club to save it

The fan revolt will end this club


A sponsor noone had ever heard of. If that's the only form of revenue, the league is in trouble - not just the club.

The president of biz operations left for openly breaching her employment agreement as president. Fact. Can’t be an officer of a company and then trash the team publicly and leak to the post

I know a couple of the women that exited the front office recently. Their narrative is very much what we are reading in the Post. I wish it was not. I used to love what the team was doing. It seems to have been a facade of sorts. It is a shame.

Can the NWSL press the "reset" button and start over here in DC?

Just get rid of everyone (except the players). This entire club has been tainted from the owners, the investors, and the coaches.

When "journalism" becomes advocacy. Post eagerly serving as mouthpiece for coordinated effort to influence ownership fight going on with Spirit. It not surprising that a league created and built mostly by the investment of men is now the target of women hoping to gain control of the league. More power to them, I guess. The league can't exist on its own, so maybe they should put their money where their mouth is with these franchises and see if it can fly on its own. Guessing it won't be such a smooth flight as people seem to think.

As a man and avid fan, I will say the biggest issue with the WS over the years is that not enough women watch or are interested. Can’t tell you how many women I’ve met that love soccer and never knew DC had a women’s team
