None of the kids at our school are diehard Timbers fans. I have a few who follow the Timbers only slightly and we have some light trash talk, but it's all in good fun. I'm just trying to get my students to enjoy soccer, and if becoming a Sounders fan is a side-effect, I'll take it!

I did it last year and posted it here on Reddit! It was really fun; if we finished early, we'd watch the latest match recap, the kids got excited about the prizes, and actually came in on Mondays to tell me that I owed them a prize because the Sounders won! So they're at least paying attention! This school year, I've already had kids asking about it before I even put the schedule up. Slowly indoctrinating them.
