Great +3 and clean sheet to start the second half of the season. Coaches had the players ready to perform after a very limited training month due to snow + freezing temps. Getting a result vs. the top of the table = well earned!

DC Power FC @ Sporting Jacksonville: Preview, time, and how to watch
DC Power FC is back. The spring season gets underway for them this afternoon when they take on Sporting Jacksonville on the road. It's their first match since December 20th, and they have certainly been busy since then, with several roster moves made to set up the team for success. Sporting director Steven Birnbaum has indicated that the club wants to be better at finishing scoring opportunities and to be faster on the attack.

Want DCU news? These are the people showing up regardless of the team's record or national relevance:
• @districtpressdc.bsky.social (specifically @blazindw.bsky.social & @sarahkallassy.bsky.social)

By the back half of 2025 you could literally do this on a regular basis, as the presser would fluctuate between 5-6 people depending on whether me or @joseumana.bsky.social had something else to cover that night.
DCU's coverage at this point, you can probably count the number of media on one hand
The years of them being throughly mediocre with nothing to offer is coming home to roost

It’s saddening and maddening to watch what’s happening at the Washington Post today.
The staffers there and their readers everywhere deserve better than these shortsighted decisions and the mismanagement that led to them.

Steven Birnbaum speaks on busy winter break for DC Power FC
DC Power FC is gearing up to start back up with the spring portion of the 2025-26 season, and they've been incredibly busy during the winter break. The number of roster moves they've made with additions, contract extensions, and saying goodbye to a couple of players has the club feeling confident they have the pieces in place to make a run for the playoffs.

This week the House is expected to vote on a resolution that would repeal a D.C. bill that decoupled the city's tax code from some of the tax changes Republicans made last year. City officials say that if it passes Congress, it would cost D.C. $600 million over four years.

Number of Black head coaching hires the past 2 years:

2026: 0/10
There are only 3 Black head coaches in the NFL currently. To say the NFL has more work to do is an understatement.
