A thread remembering our friend

The below message was written after finding out that Daryl had been admitted to hospice. I never posted it but thought it seemed appropriate to share on his birthday.
I took the
@cta
today for only the fifth or sixth time since mid-March today, and I wanted to give a s/o to all the CTA employees, who have been keeping it real for us the last few months.
I've done my best to not "raise my voice" on Twitter regarding supporter related issues over the last few months/year, but I need to say that I'm really sick of the sexist BS happening in my community. Enough is enough. Women are equals. Every day. Every game. Respect us.
I received many comments and messages yesterday because I was wearing a Mexico jersey. Of course, I support the USMNT, but I’ve lived in a Mexican neighborhood for 16 years. Yesterday was about celebrating the beautiful game with the community of people I live near. It was fun!
Is anyone else in Chicago bummed with the 2026 World Cup host cities announcements today? 😢 Home to US Soccer headquarters, and we’ll be missing out on the celebration of the beautiful game in our city.
Things not to do if you match with a soccer supporting woman on a dating app:
Mansplain to her that soccer is called football in the rest of the world. FFS.
It's an odd sensation going to my home stadium, engulfed by the opposing team's jerseys. Eagerly anticipating the day I'll experience the unity of 60k Fire fans instead. 🔥

I know, I know - Valentine's Day is this BS corporate holiday, but for me, it has always been about showing a little extra love to your friends & family. Then in 2010, I lost my father on Valentine's Day. So this is a reminder to love a little more, be kind, give hugs.

We have been capos. We've made tifo and waved flags. We've traveled to away games. We've sat in meetings. We have organized watch parties. We've been leaders. We've played the drums. We've sang and cheered. We've been here since the beginning.
Supporters knew Luka was special when he scored his first goal for the Fire, when he sent tweets about supporters’ food drives initiatives that he donated to, when he heard us chanting his name in Miami before taking a free kick and clapped for us to be louder.

“The kids get outside and they play soccer every day, but they don’t have a team or coaches,” said Kelso-Grant, “There are barriers, items and materials that the kids still need in order to play. I thought, ‘Well what could I do to help?'”
Tonight will be my first time attending a game at Red Bull Arena since their stadium opener against the Fire in 2010. We traveled with appx 300 supporters. It was also the first game
@positivelyallie
& I attended after the loss of our father. So many emotions.
!Vamos!

"It’s one thing to be bad. It’s another to be incompetent. And it’s quite another to be openly antagonistic to the very few who still bother to watch you do the first two. Welcome to the world of the Chicago Fire."

I may not enjoy it, but I’ll support a team that finishes last place in the league. I, however, cannot take a club, who doesn’t respect their supporters or consider us an integral part of their club. I continue to be heartbroken.

Ya know what one of my favorite things about playing & supporting soccer is? I love how the game unites people. Specifically, I love that it unites me with other badass women. 💪 This video showcases just a few of those women. Thankful. ⚽️❤️✊

$7 for these fries. I’ve only eaten one so far and they’re cold. I got a hot dog too. No ketchup or mustard available at concessions. It’s terrific being a season ticket holder to a losing team and then having to eat poor stadium food. 😐

Soldier Field = not ideal (NFL Stadium? C'mon.)
City location = yes
Rebrand = Unnecessary
Winning team + new management = yes
When you’re not a goal-scorer and score a goal, it’s always the best feeling, even in a pickup game. Must have been the lucky
