DC United’s Ben Olsen joined up with Ethan Zohn to help finish the 550 mile journey from Boston to D.C., all in the name of Grassroots Soccer United Dribbling.

Zohn’s dribbling started in Foxboro, Massachusetts on August 20th, stopping in New York for a little Hollywood United vs. Grassroots United challenge on October 2nd and ended at the National Mall in D.C. on December 1st, National AIDS Awareness Day and in between raised more than $150,000.

Tearing an ACL and still finishing? Huge props for that….

DC United’s Brazilian midfielder Fred made his debut for Australian A - League side Wellington Phoenix during their 2 - nil win over Newcastle Jets.

Dear D.C. United Fan,

As the season has come to a close, we want to share a few decisions and update you, our fans – the very best fans and supporters in major league sports.

(more…)

Nothing like being able to throw your boys under the bus for all to see.

Thanks to our boy Kyle for the heads up.

From our boy Kyle Sheldon over at Behind The Badge

“I’m grateful for all of the support shown by the Houston Dynamo organization, their supporters and concerned fans from all over the country.  I’ve received hundreds of encouraging e-mails over the past several days for which I’m very thankful.  I know that one person does not represent everyone in Houston and I appreciate the manner in which the Dynamo and their fans have approached the incident that occurred Sunday night.

I have also received a heartfelt letter from the man that confronted me after the game and said some very hurtful things.  I accept his apology and hope that this incident helps us all move forward together in the future.”
