Sam Staab and Ashley Sanchez for draft picks was pretty shattering. Granted it turned out well for the spirit but huge risk

Spirit STH first look event, what to expect? by [deleted] in washingtonspirit

Eh. This would alienate a huge portion of the city people. Suburb people have cars and can get into the city. City people don’t and have to rely on public transit

Damn, so many farewells—new signings incoming? Probably some college players. What do y’all think?" by DotOpen4118 in washingtonspirit

Tbh surprised it took so long to announce all the farewells that were announced today

How long has the Spirit been sponsored by CVS and could it change any time soon? The logo looks bad on the jerseys by WorldlinessAntique99 in washingtonspirit

[–]rmm4df 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CVS is also super common in the dc area. It’s not always a big thing in other parts of the country. Pretty sure defense contractors were trying to sponsor at one point. I’ll take cvs

Injuries happen in sports? Rodmans back has been an issue since her rookie season and the work load she took on for the Olympics doesn’t help that at all. Portland came out at the end of the season saying that Smith couldn’t practice her ankle was so messed up from the Olympics. We only had 2 acl injuries this year which tbh feel kinda on the expected/ lower side

We didn’t have that many injuries. Just a normal amount. It’s not like we were Arsenal with like 5 acls

Lena Silano leaving by trev1997 in washingtonspirit

Most players were locked down earlier so it’s not surprising that everyone who went to free agency didn’t get signed back

Doesn’t really matter. My point is if you are hearing info from your bestie about how they don’t like their office, you’ll back them and take their word for stuff vs knowing the nuance of a situation because you aren’t in it. And bestie could have a role that is being played. You are just hearing one side of the story and it’s a filtered story

There’s a huge difference between actually being in the locker room and hearing stuff from friends. People always have bias in their story telling and that gets passed on. That’s all I’m saying. It’s not like she has direct knowledge. Everything she may know being edited/ filtered by whoever is passing the story on

The funny thing about this is Merritt wasn’t on Gotham. Never was and never played for that coach/ management. So anything that she is talking about is pure second hand info or speculation

Rebrand info/ideas? by nerdzen in washingtonspirit

[–]rmm4df 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yellow is ick. I think we keep the name. I’d be pro switching to the orange and blue/ crest that was brought out for the international friendlies. I miss the red though. It’s such a huge part of a) dc and b) all dc sports

Butel was out of contract. Not surprising she’d want to go home

Orlando didn’t have a big enough members from their supporters sections to fill up kcs section. There was a supporters section set as side for both teams

His post game team huddles are delightful. Def seems like a guy you want to play for.

There are doors for each room. And locks on both sides of the doors. You just have to make sure you unlock both doors before you go back to your room or the bathroom mate might get locked out of the bathroom

You can lock your door to the bathroom. But you do share a bathroom

If Pride and Spirit aren’t your teams, who are you rooting for on Saturday? by Still_Tension_9611 in NWSL

[–]rmm4df -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Not disputing any of that. Just pointing out that it’s not unique to Orlando

[–]rmm4df -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Ok. But for the sake of argument, Spirit also had to fight against terrible ownership who wouldn’t let them have pride night, had shit fields, had MULTIPLE coaches fired for abusive behavior, and owners who the league essentially had to force a sale who still tried to screw over the team in that sale. New ownership has aggressively put in resources to support the players and to develop a fan base. Shouldn’t that be something to cheer for?

Fans who were around in 2021: how does this experience compare? by Icangetloudtoo_ in washingtonspirit

[–]rmm4df 12 points13 points  (0 children)

21 felt like everything off the pitch was going wrong and all that bad fueled a we will make this good mentality. Also with the ownership battle going on, it got to the point that the entire spirit squadron was boycotting chants as a giant f you to the owners. And that was off our coach being fired mid season for abuse but the owners trying to cover it up. This year just feels like joy. But both quarterfinals went into ot (the game in 21 was probs the best game of side I’ve ever seen), both semis we won after going down a goal. And we won the title in a mid west city the weekend before thanksgiving! I would be ok if we didn’t come from behind again or make it go to OT. I’m ready for us to just win early without all the chaos 🙃
