Seems like it's one club when things are going well, but two teams when they aren't. This kinda reinforces that.

Paulson has helped make a lot of people a lot of money in MLS. He's in no hurry to go and they're in no hurry to see him leave. Timbers Army has also shown a willingness to keep buying tickets in spite of everything, so clearly at some level they're fine with him too. I mean, sure, they're going to sit on their hands this weekend, but they'll all be there.

That leaves the Thorns. Does he sell? Conventional wisdom says he has to. But what happens then? Are they treated as second-class citizens like Portland State? Do they move to Merlo Field? Do they relocate altogether? I fear we may be seeing the last of women's soccer in Portland for a while.

It’s easy to root for players like Fochive. A decent human and fun to watch on the pitch.
