Danita Johnson named D.C. United president, Tigres beats LAFC in CCL Final, and more: Freedom Kicks for December 23, 2020

Happy Wednesday, everyone. Just a couple more days until Christmas, so before you get that last minute online shopping in, here’s the recap from yesterday:

History is made in the D.C. United front office as Danita Johnson is named team president. She becomes the first black president in MLS history. She brings a wealth of experience to the team, as her latest position among many in the world of the WNBA was the president and COO of the Los Angeles Sparks. Congrats, Danita!

Andre-Pierre Gignac buries Los Angeles Football Club with an 84th minute strike, and Tigres wins the Concacaf Champions League final 2-1 in Orlando.
