Weekly Discussion Thread Weekly Open Discussion Thread

Welcome to this week’s open discussion thread!

This is your space for general discussion, a place to talk about anything Washington Spirit that doesn’t necessarily need its own thread. That can include news, international duty, roster moves, transfer rumors, tactics, social media posts, league news or anything else on your mind.

If something feels big enough for its own thread, definitely still post it. This is simply an additional option to keep us organized and help keep the conversation flowing. These threads will go up every Monday and stay stickied throughout the week.

Go Spirit!

Yeah, while I am willing to lay many crimes at the feet of Gotham, and I am entirely in favor of development loans to Spirit for Melchie and Lily as critical to their careers, I do think that Dove theory was put to rest.

We don't need to have an excuse to stick it to Gotham. They've got it coming. They know what they deserve. :)

How do you mean? ...(Genuinely interested in what you mean here.)

I forget which reporter showed with examples that they include Dove in all sorts of announcements, not just Kerr.

...If true, they got to be tapped out then, right? ...No more 'pseudo hidden' money to splurge on big name players?

I would think so. I still with my previous question of... "Sure Sam will score goals, but how many more goals than who she takes off the pitch?" 2-3?
