It took 120 minutes and penalty kicks, but an emotional goal from Gift Monday and penalty shootout heroics from Aubrey Kingsbury eventually lifted the Washington Spirit past Racing Louisville for a spot in the #NWSL semifinals!

Please chip in if you can. Randy has brain cancer and the misfortune of living in the USA. Just the first phase of his treatment cost $233,000. Insurance paid $230,000 so he had to pay $3,000. And he still has a rehab and ICU stay, surgery, therapy, anesthesia, MRIs, and radiation, to go.
Thank you! Yes, my wonderful friend Lindsay set up a GoFundMe for us:

It’s an amazing stadium and team. So much heart from the team and fans. Every NWSL team should have its own stadium.
The stadium for the Kansas City Current -- whose construction 40 banks refused to finance because there had never been a professional stadium built for a women's team -- just finished its second consecutive season of sold-out games.

No One Wanted to Finance Their Stadium. Now Every Game Is a Sellout.
Building a professional women’s soccer venue was seen as brash. Now the Kansas City Current’s is a blueprint for others.

“They aren’t trans identified, they’re men with DSDs. In fact, one of the best players in the league is a male, Barbra Banda, who plays for Orlando Pride.”
To be openly racist, and demand chromosome ’purity’, were always the next targets after trans people.

Transphobes are already targeting the biggest star in women's soccer and baselessly alleging she's a man because she's Black. This is what trans people warned would happen. Gender policing that becomes explicitly racial.
