Sorry John, but really no one cares. I definitely don't. No one shows up for the Thorn's matches, No one likes their politics except the fringe elements. IMO womens soccer in Portland is like the WNBA...definitely on it's last legs and is on life support. What is funny is how Thorn's players and fans are DEMANDING Paulson sell BOTH franchises...why should he sell the Timbers? He used his own money to rejuvenate the franchise and stadium and turn them into viable entities again...If anything he should just shut the Thorns franchise down...forever...what would those self indulged "squeaky wheel" players think then since they'd be out of jobs?

Don’t think he should sell the Timbers.

No one shows up for the matches? Aren't they averaging over 17,000 a game? That's in the ballpark of what the Blazers draw? Are you then saying the no one care about the Blazers either?

I am a Thorns and Timbers fan and I am not demanding that he sell the Timbers and I have been to many Thorns games with 15,000+ fans. Your generalizations are not accurate IMHO.

I care about the Thorns, they are a class act and add a lot to the Portland sports scene and as role models for girls. I think you are in over your head with your analysis of women's soccer.
