Columbus fans are now taking applications to be our rivals in 2028.
Step right up and make your case as to why Columbus Helldivers (just a name I think would be fun) fans should hate your team.

If this isn’t a Black and Yellow team called The Mockingbirds after Jerrie Mock, then what are we even doing? #Crew96 #NWSLtoCBUS

Same. I had season tickets for years at the old stadium but never warmed up to the new stadium, new prices, and new owners. The Haslam fundraiser for J. D. Vance was final straw for me. Apparently now Columbus is ready to double-down on the Haslam to Vance money pipeline. No thanks. #nwsltocbus

Special shout-out to Morgan and Alex for single handily getting #NWSLtoCBUS done.

This man needs to be venerated! He is a saint! He is an angel!
.... And if he doesn't watch his mouth he's going to become a dead angel....

But anyways, GO CREW! #NWSLtoCBUS

We know we have incredible supporters from Day 1! For now, supporters’ group information is in the works and more information will be shared when available.

Columbus needs to establish an independent supports group, like yesterday #nwsltocbus

Big day for Ohio girl dads who are soccer fans. #Crew96 #NWSLtoCBUS

Columbus should have been the first, but they saved the best for last!

#NWSLtoCBus is happening and we're so excited to cheer for our newest obsession!

PS: Build the park, Jimmy!!

Despite the mess of bad actors brought to us by the mayor and Haslams, I am so pumped to have NWSL here.

Batted out a quick, newsy version of The Crewcible this morning with @morganhughes.bsky.social
The deal is done. The sausage is difficult to digest.

I have to say, as someone who has weathered such things as "BOS Nation FC" and "Too Many Balls," I'm kind of heartbroken for the #NWSLtoCBUS fans. The announcement of a new team should be a great day. Instead, it's just dripping in slimy corruption and disappointment.

Hope someone can ask Berman if the league thinks it is a good look to be co-opting public parks like they did here and in Boston. #nwsltocbus #crew96 #nwsl

It's unfortunate the billionaire class has really tainted this experience for us. I ask our elected officials to hold HSG accountable for their end of the bargain. Definitely have a sour taste in my mouth, but trying to regain some excitement about the future of women's soccer in CBUS #NWSLtoCBUS

#Crew96 #NWSLtoCBUS

And believe me, no one is more surprised than I am that I'm in opposition to the #nwsltocbus I've been a Columbus Eagles FC season ticket member for years, and go to as many OSU Women's home matches as I can. If supporters are looking for role models, maybe start there and cut out the billionaires.

Local Politics: City Council votes today on plans to turn McCoy Park into an NWSL training facility – Matter News After spending years working with neighbors and promising improvements to benefit disabled residents, elected officials are prepared to give away a 28-acre park in the poorest corner of the city for t...

Columbus City Council voted to approve the Haslam Sports Group's land and money grab to secure an NWSL franchise in Columbus. There are a lot of people articulating why this is an awful deal but this article from @matternews.bsky.social
sums it up pretty succinctly tinyurl.com/m6k7mttd #nwsltocbus

Imagine how cool tonight would have been, and what a unifying moment we could have had as a city, if the ownership class would just pay for their own fucking land and their own fucking buildings.

Women’s sports deserves better.

#NWSLtoCBUS

I've signed petitions supporting #NWSLtoCbus. But I want council to reject the current plan. We can and must do better. Have an actual vision and plan, not succumb to a bum rush by Haslams. This is not a once in a gen opportunity. The NWSL commish envisions over 30 teams. Let's do it right. #crew96

What’s in store for neighbors of McCoy Park COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Community members have been voicing their concerns and questions about plans to convert a city park into a women’s soccer training facility and NBC4 got some answers. …

“Columbus City Council is set to vote on the funding plan on Monday, April 20. Shepro said right now they are scheduled to start construction in October”

As critics target McCoy Park proposal, NWSL bid leaders say land key to pitch Amid controversy over a public-private deal in the bid for an NWSL team, investors say the use of McCoy Park and public dollars are crucial.

"We were told the site was available. That is why − amongst other reasons, because it truly is a fantastic site to be ready by 2028 − we selected it." - Mary Shepro, Crew President of Business Operations Mary Shepro

The #NWSLtoCBUS Twitter account has been suspended. I wonder how much money the Haslam’s will ask for to get it up and running again.

Columbus shows up for soccer. Now let’s show up for the next chapter.

Bringing a @nwslsoccer.com team to our city means more opportunity, more visibility for women’s sports and more reasons for young athletes to dream big.

Little one had her very first practice yesterday.

One of many reasons why Columbus needs an NWSL team. #NWSLtoCBUS

Hardin wants Columbus NWSL deal to commit city to replacing McCoy Park Columbus City Council is near a vote on deal for an NWSL team, but Council President Hardin wants an amendment committing to replace McCoy Park.

"I will not feel comfortable voting for (the deal) unless we amend it to say we will do these things, we will keep our promises to the young people of the Southwest Side”-Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin

Hardin will use this to differentiate himself from Ginther.

Here Are J.D. Vance’s Biggest Billionaire Donors. This is from 2024, but (spoiler alert) Jimmy Haslam (Haslam Sports Group) comes in at #4 #nwsltocbus www.forbes.com/sites/leokam...

Columbus Council doesn’t like to put stuff on their agendas that won’t pass.

The NWSL item is now on Monday’s council agenda.

Ginther vows to make it right as McCoy Park NWSL plan sparks anger Ginther promises a new South Side park after outrage over plans to use McCoy Park for an NWSL training facility. See the plans for the park that might not be.

The Dispatch is apparently not going to roll over for the Haslams and #nwsltocbus You gotta admit though, taking away adaptive sports facilities is a terrible look even for cartoon villains like the Haslam Sports Group. www.dispatch.com/story/news/l...

Saying 'yes' to billionaires is 'the Columbus Way.' Soccer team handout wrong | Opinion If giving away $25 million in taxpayer money to a billionaire sports owner isn’t an example of irresponsible overspending, I don’t know what is.
