    Black text over a white background. The statement reads:

We no longer have confidence that Steve Baldwin can effectively lead the Washington Spirit.

Until new ownership publicly puts forth a plan that ensures a safe environment for players and staff, and commits to a true vetting process for hiring qualified employees at the highest levels, we will limit our game day activities. This includes the flying of flags, chants and playing of drums in the supporters section.

To the players of the Washington Spirit: This is not a decision that we have come to lightly. We understand that our actions will have an immediate and adverse effect on the atmosphere we help to create in the stadium on game day. However, we cannot continue to operate as if there is not a cancer eating away at the heart and soul of this club that you play for and that we love.

We have seen enough. It is past time.

Sell the team, Steve.

    We don’t have much to say right now. Get your vaccine. It is safe and it is free. Even if you are vaccinated, follow covid safety precautions. They are there to keep you and everyone around you as safe as possible.

    We’d comment on this but we wouldn’t want to be fined
    The NWSL announced today it has issued a pair of fines to the Washington Spirit organization for comments made during a post-game press conference and on social media. Details ⤵

    A statement before our game tomorrow, alongside @RoseRoomCo.
    Statement reads "We stand with our fellow supporters groups to condemn the Utah Royals’ jersey sponsorship by “America First Credit Union.”

“America First” is a phrase fraught with a contentious history that has always had deep ties to white supremacy. Even if the phrase had not resurfaced in the 21st century, it would be an inappropriate name for an organization that rebranded in the 1980s. There are many other ways to “reflect [their] continuing dedication to always putting the financial needs of [their] members” without making clear who you don’t want those members to be." (1/2)

    The news that has come out regarding what the NWSL investigation has found is abhorrent and further reinforces the catastrophic failure that has come to define the Steve Baldwin era as owner of the Spirit. Now is as good a time as any to #SellTheTeamSteve
    NEW: The NWSL is sanctioning the Washington Spirit after its investigation Two sources say there were multiple violations of the league's anti-harassment policy. Investigators found execs knew of Burke's behavior, and the toxic culture silenced employees washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/09…
