  Friday Freedom Kicks

  Happy Friday! The big sports news today is of course the Olympic Opening Ceremonies, which I have been looking forward to. Will they be as bonkers as France's in 2024? Probably not, but I am hoping for something entertaining. The games overall are already providing a wealth of topics to discuss (Finnish hockey norovirus! Cleaning bug blood off the curling ice!

  Welcome to Thursday. Today we look at Sean Young's arrival in Loudoun, the impact of FBRef's data on Women's Soccer, Casey Keller's health, #USMNT news, and Murder Shows. All that and more in Thursday's Freedom Kicks. #woso #ThatsTheSpirit #Loudoun United
  

  Young joins Loudoun United, Impact of FBRef Data Loss, USMNT Roster Thoughts, Alligators and Murder Shows, and more: Thursday Freedom Kicks

  Happy Thursday everyone. As Talonesque mentioned, yesterday was a sad day. To say watching a venerated institution like the Washington Post self-immolate is extremely difficult undersells the moment. The loss of The Post's Sports Section hits hard. Like many from outside the DMV, I was aware of some of great journalists who worked for the paper before I lived in the area.

  WAPO Sports Section Cut, and More: Wednesday Freedom Kicks

  The Washington Post eliminates sports section as part of wider layoffs- The Athletic I don't normally start this section with a link, but there it is. Washington Post Jeff Bezos has decided to engage in massive cost cutting and layoffs at the (once) historic newspaper. This is upsetting well outside the bounds of sports, but, remarkably, the cuts touch upon the local sports coverage deeply.

  DC Power sporting director Steven Birnbaum takes the time to speak with @blazindw.bsky.social on the busy winter break and what's in store for the club as they resume the season this weekend.
  

  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.

  Loudoun continues to recruit. Transfer deadline day had a bit of drama involving Ronaldo and Benzema. And I watched the Grammys for the first time! This and more in your Tuesday Freedom Kicks
  

  Loudoun bolsters their squad, Transfer Deadline Day in Europe, and more: Tuesday Freedom Kicks

  Morning everyone! We finally got above freezing yesterday, but this snowcrete ain't going anywhere any time soon. I've basically spent the last week and a half indoors and out of sheer boredom I caught the Grammys on Sunday night for the first time ever (this is relevant further down). I was pleasantly surprised by how entertaining it was (or maybe my threshold for entertainment has been so whittled down) and the…

  Arsenal win Women’s Champions Cup, DC United preseason begins, and more: Groundhog Day Freedom Kicks

  Happy Monday, everyone. It's Groundhog Day...again. Let's start off by getting the weather prediction from Phil...no, the other Phil: February 1st also marked the start of Black History Month. Throughout February, I hope everyone will take the time each day to read a story on Black History, a Black athlete whose story you may not know or want to learn more about, and to uplift and center the Black journalists and creators who are doing work to keep this history alive while making some of their own.
