DC United with Kevin Spacey at fundraiser

Turns out Frank Underwood is a D.C. United fan.


Or at least that's true of Kevin Spacey, the actor who plays the Machiavellian politician on the popular Netflix series House of Cards. He was kind enough to pose for a picture with a handful of United players Monday night at a charity event in the District. The picture was posted on United’s Twitter account, and Spacey, err Underwood, responded with a tweet of his own asking what his goal celebration would be.

United offered up their suggestion, and a play on an Underwood line from the show: “There is but one rule--hunt or be hunted.”

The charity event was very un-Underwood-like. Called “Under the Lights,” Spacey teamed with former Major League Baseball star Cal Ripken Jr., to sit down with CNN anchor Dana Bash for an evening of storytelling about their paths to success and the importance of giving back. The event also raised money for their respective charities, the Kevin Spacey Foundation and Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation


So what do you think? How would an Underwood goal celebration look?
