I think I know a guy … perhaps one of the best in the biz ! #sportsbiz
There is only 1 MLS team that doesn’t have a full time employee dedicated to retail. I’ll give you thirty guesses which team it is.

KP would certainly be troubled, confused and perplexed, not the standard set by the club at its orgin …. Sadly this might be true , would be similar to Yankee fans or front office exec’s not knowing who Carl Steinbrenner was or Chiefs fans , front office exec’s Lamar Hunt #sportsbiz #soccerbiz
Glad I stopped caring about them years ago. That team died with Kevin Payne. Hell…I bet the modern MLS fans don’t even knows who Kevin Payne is lol.

7 straight seasons without a playoff appearance. Truly stunning. And incredibly sad for a club that was once the best of the best in MLS.

Unfortunately, seems like a far cry from one of the @dcunited original guiding goals “win championships “ ⚽️ in the clubs mission/ vision statement #MLS
For record-tying seventh straight year, D.C. United fails to qualify for MLS playoffs — a humiliating absurdity in a playoff-happy league. DCU hasn’t won a playoff game in 11 years. Players, coaches, GMs and technical directors have come and gone. One constant.

I had pretty high expectations for this club just given the seriousness of the ownership group, but I have to admit this level of pre-launch support is mind blowing. For context, as far as I can tell, the all-time record for D3 is ~6,500 sold by AC Boise (USL).

I feel like #soccer lover @FreddyLA7 had a little bit of something to do with @ellalangleymsic rise - she’s talented for sure however she gained awareness by countless #worldcup @FIFAWorldCup #soccer fans, including me, this last summer making her the first official World Cup Artist ! 💪⚽️
