A poster reading "Can't Beat Clawdia" with Claudia Dicky in her OL Reign keeper kit and obscenely badly photoshopped lobster arms.
The @theathletic.com claims Lynn invented Claw-dia but the true story is that one absolutely deranged fan (me) invented and has been building that brand for the best US keeper for years. Please put in the papers that I am annoyed.
A thread...

She changed the club. She defined an era.
One last season to watch her write the final chapter. 👑
Jess Fishlock will retire at the end of the 2026 NWSL season, closing one of the greatest careers in NWSL history.

Claudia Dickey is undoubtedly the #USWNT #1 at this moment. Very exciting for all of us fans of the Seattle Reign. 🦞🦞🦞
Definitely the strongest starting 11 of the 3 matches. It’ll be interesting to see how they deal with Japan’s clinical attack and disciplined defensive shape. #USWNT
Last night was a true Seattle show out ⚡️
Let's keep this energy flowing as we surge into Reign's home opener next Sunday, April 26th!

Thank you, Seattle 💙
This isn’t a good thing
190 regular season saves and counting, and another Reign record broken 🙌
Claudia Dickey is now the club's all-time saves leader, surpassing Hope Solo's record of 187 regular season saves.
These are the originals that were made last season (date stamp included for reasons :))
Without the backstory, this is fun.
But it would be better if any credit for the claws from last year was being given to the FAN who came up with this idea and paid his own money to have the first batch made.
Like comp his whole season ticket or something. Or, bare minimum, ask him in advance.
honestly: I love that fan efforts are becoming such a part of the team lore, I really do
but a bit of acknowledgment would go a long way here (the CLAWD SQUAD claws you saw in the crowd and in the Reign locker room last year were the work of one highly dedicated fan)
You’re free to report your grievances to GM Leslie Galimore

This is how I felt after Friday’s Reign game 🤝
Sofia Huerta is a magician istg
Absolutely agree.
Is it a Yeti cooler though? Because that’s the new NWSL sponsor and they seem to be serious about that.
The loudest man on earth pointing to my demise.
I’m still reveling in the embarrassment and sadness of yesterday’s Reign game, but I can’t forget that I knew the team was cursed before the game even started. My mortal enemy Mike Watts degraded Laura’s cooler before the match securing the loss for Seattle. #menruineverything #nwsl #reign

Me all game. #wtf #seattlereign #cascadia #fml
The most succinct postgame thought from that mayhem might be from Jess Fishlock:
“This game is gonna be a really hard, difficult, painful lesson for all of us.”

@reignfc.com plz educate the people. I’m dying over here
anyway just a reminder that xG actually doesn't tell you who "should" have won a game
it gives you a weighted-by-model accounting of how many goals one would expect a team to score, on average, creating the same chances
in a given game, sample sizes are incalculably too small to be predictive
Nonsense skeet of the day
Welcome back, Ryanne!! 🥹
Ryanne Brown played her first minutes tonight since sustaining an injury in July 2024.
Do we need more evidence that being in your 30s is peak? What a freakin win
WE’RE BACK BABYYYYY
