The resolution's purpose was to "to recognize the District of Columbia based men's Ultimate team, D.C. Current, for winning the 2014 Major League Ultimate National (MLU) Championship." A handful of DC Current players attended the event. The Council recognized the Washington Wizards in a similar fashion back in May 2014, Bryce Harper in April 2013, and DC Scandal in December 2013.
