I'm so goddamn proud of us tonight. The fascists have hundreds of millions of dollars to spend trying to convince women's sports fans that exclusion will protect us, but we know better, and we're building a grassroots movement to prove it

Trinity Rodman on love from Spirit fans:

“I’ve always talked about how great the @spiritsquadron.bsky.social is, and DC as a whole, and we’re really bummed we couldn’t be having a parade now going back hopefully they’re still proud and we can try again next year.”

To every single player, coach, staff, and employee at the @washingtonspirit.com, you embraced this District and gave us something to believe in. Thank you for allowing us to embrace you back. Thank you for giving us that foundation of belief.

We'll be back stronger next year. And we'll dominate.

that was an incredibly emotional final whichever way you slice it - but i want to say, despite the political bullshit embroiling nwsl leadership - i have loved this nwsl season and every other one. women's sports are a gift and something worth fighting for.

shoutout @jennatonelli.bsky.social for another great year of coverage

shoutout @838carlisle.bsky.social for the best woso newsletter in the game (sorry)

shoutout Yael, you can GM two teams at once, right?

Give Yael Averbuch West her flowers 💐

The Yael-Juan Carlos partnership has worked exceptionally well.

Spirit fans, I am so sorry this season didn’t end with a ring. Y’all put your heart & soul behind your club, and we all felt it. Feel the emotions you need to. Let it in & let it hurt.

the problem with being a neutral is that any result is sad because when someone wins someone loses! this is breaking news about sports

i want adrian to be the coach we think he is, the coach we want him to be, and take full responsibility for the choice. and i want him to never let hal think it was on her. i want this to make him a better coach and i want hal to know her coach has her back.

Hal Hershfelt hurts you. You don’t get to hurt her.

I love that she’s lobbying the ref while getting medical attention

michelle buy her a new ankle thanks

i wonder if a time will ever come when i can once again see esthair on the screen and not cringe

"Free D.C." loud and clear on TV on CBS.

What the signs say 🗣️🏳️‍⚧️

The "D.C., rise up" chants are very audible on the CBS broadcast. Sounds like a great showing by the Spirit fans for a cross-country trip on short notice.

Everyone has already said it but I fucking love NWSL finals. And NWSL people. This shit rules.
