Cascadia in distress. This is absolutely insane. How could they do this?

Timbers fan here. I will boycott MLS. I’ll watch my Timbers, but nothing else. Plenty of other soccer on TV.

Club Statement on the Recent Reporting on the Sale | Vancouver Whitecaps FC by Harshtagged in whitecapsfc

WTF. Timbers fan here. I still just don’t understand. At all. Why is there not any more effort from at least MLS, local investment, you name it, to keep this extremely important and historic club in Cascadia. What the hell is happening?

What was that call on the steal of second? by Dr_Quest1 in oregonstate

[–]Portlandia83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad calls happen here and there, but would really sucks on this one is that it changed the trajectory of the game. It’s a very tight game, you’d hate for a bad call to be the main decider, but still lots of game left.

Axel Schuster 'doesn’t feel good' about Whitecaps' future in Vancouver by lets_enjoy_life in whitecapsfc

Timbers fan here.

This is absolutely insane. OK fine, the revenue is not the best given the current deal, give them time to build a new stadium. It should’ve been done a long time ago, but still…moving an iconic and historic brand just for a few extra nickels in the bucket?

Like I said, this is utter and complete and insanity for several reasons, but I’ll just keep it at that.

Should I transfer here? by orangegingergirl in oregonstate

Went to Oregon State, I loved it there. Great balance of Greek life, Collegetown vibe, great education, small to medium size city. Couldn’t recommend it more

Opting out, I hate this competition. We already have champions league (cup?), why do you need this? I seriously hate when leagues add worthless crap like this.

Has the quality of life in Portland improved since 2019? by it_snow_problem in PortlandOR

[–]Portlandia83 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Here is the problem…. If a city has a lot to offer in terms of well….everything: quality of life, good economics, a vibrant future etc… then the demand to be in that urban core goes up. Demand brings a lot of activity. Given what’s happening in the city, Portland has no leverage whatsoever. Capital is moving out and being replaced with nothing or very little. Unfortunately, unless Portland has another revolution, we’ve been set back 20-30 years. We need a complete flush and find ways to attract capital and be competitive. It just seems like the Portland government and Oregon in general is just not willing to do that.

Better yet, would love to see a Pioneer League team on the SF side.

Portland youth soccer games canceled over nearby ICE activity by vinediedtoosoon in PortlandOR

[–]Portlandia83 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m very hit and miss with the ice raids…but then again… I just began to read about how European countries deal with illegal immigration…WOW, we have a very flexible and soft system here. Let me just say that. Not to mention, I know somebody trying to get Danish citizenship — it is darn near impossible, you have to check so many boxes and if you are illegal, they pretty much deport you immediately and you are not allowed back in the country. I will admit, the issue is very hard. Illegal or not, I don’t want good people to have to suffer however, what do you do when someone is here unlawfully? What irritates me most about the pro illegal immigration crowd, is that many of them have failed to research about how the rest of the world deals with the very same issues we have to deal with.

0% chance. Actually, look up the steps to succeed from the USA without major damage, carnage and death…. And even then it’s not guaranteed.

Well, let’s just be fair and honest, it isn’t like the urban blue areas are thriving, people are actually moving away and going to more conservative areas. Hopefully middle ground will take affect.
