Croix Bethune is a star in the making. The rookie attacking midfielder for the NWSL's Washington Spirit tied the single season league record for assists last month, dropping her 10th dime in a 4-1 Spirit win over the Kansas City Current. We gave her a shoutout at the time. She also won a gold medal as an alternate on the U.S. Women's team that took the title in Paris. She was flying.
Life can be cruel sometimes.
On August 28, Bethune joined fellow DMV-area athletes Torri Huske, Casey Kreuger, and Hal Hershfelt to throw out the first pitch at a Washington Nationals game. Yesterday, it was reported that Bethune tore the meniscus in one of her knees and will miss the remainder of the NWSL season. She'll end her rookie campaign with five goals to go with the aforementioned assists.
Just one more bit of evidence that baseball is stupid.
in better spirit news, magic johnson just joined the club as an investor. michelle kang is building a global women's soccer empire. someone should write about that.
ReplyDeleteThat Commanders VP has now been fired. Can’t say I don’t understand it or didn’t see it coming, but I also think some element of critical thinking should prevail here. Something is rotten in the state of Ashburn.
ReplyDeletethere was no way that dude going to keep that job the moment that story dropped. i don't blame the commanders at all. does he have a legal case against o'keefe? that's a different story altogether.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a different story.

ReplyDeletei'm a mite gobsmacked that a county in georgia, of all places, is charging a parent criminally in a case where he made a weapon available to a minor who killed with it. this is the way.
ReplyDeleteI’m leaving EARLY tomorrow morning to go back to St Louis for the first time in 20 years. It’s where my entire family is from. Cardinals game tomorrow night. Arch and beers with my sisters and their husbands (before the wedding) on Saturday. Wedding on Sunday. My wife may divorce me after this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm gobsmacked that some guy--not some Rambo type of guy, or some Day of the Jackal type of guy, or some Vasily Zaitsev type of guy--just a regular old bacciagaloop with an AK took some pot shots at the president--who coincidentally WAS SURROUNDED by some Rambo, Day of the Jackal, and Vasily Zaitsev type of guys who had their own guns including AKs--and no one said "Huh, maybe we need to limit access to AKs."
