Thursday Freedom Kicks: D.C. United fires Lucy Rushton and others, Arsenal bewilders Lyon in Women’s Champions League, and more

Happy Thursday, folks. A big bombshell dropped yesterday in the land of D.C. United, so we gotta start there:

Lucy Rushton: gone. Victor Lonchuk: gone. Nico Frutos: gone. Chad Ashton: reassigned. Yet somehow...Dave Kasper: remains. They say that he will take an “advisory role,” but yes y’all, he’s still in the front office.

Ashton, an assistant since 2007, will be reassigned within the organization, and assistant Nicolás Frutos, who was hired by Losada, will not return next season,

Lyon got beltstomped by Arsenal in UEFA Women’s Champions League, a historic defeat.
