I'd rather not recirculate the video, but it's easy to find.

The statement also notably says: "The Union front office has also been made aware of the situation and security is handling the matter going forward."

That and Jamocha shakes, right?

(Yes, I know the author of the saying was very much not a soccer fan. I don't know what his famed former colleague Shirley thought of the sport, nor do I know if he was the Shirley in question.)

Ha. Thanks. Fixed it.

The Union say, unsurprisingly, that they've picked up Tai Baribo and Nathan Harriel's 2026 contract options.

Chris Donovan, Isaiah LeFlore, Nick Pariano and Oliver Semmle have their options declined and are done.

A little surprisingly, the Union say they're in talks with Mikael Uhre. So the door isn't officially closed yet.

Talks are also going on with Alejandro Bedoya (not surprisingly), Ben Bender and George Marks.

As expected, D.C. United declines Christian Benteke’s contract option, making him a free agent, but “we remain in discussions regarding a potential return.”

DCU also declines options on Kristian Fletcher, Randall Leal, Derek Dodson and Rida Zouhir but in talks with Fletcher.
