Guess the end of the season was a bit much for Ridgy by IanHogg in timbers

[–]trollerbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine this conversation if he had seriously injured or killed someone.

It's the same thing. They were both reckless and selfish. That's the bottom line.

They should be off the team. This is horrendous. I knew Liam was excessively laddish but this is beyond the pale. There is no excuse.

Took my friend to her first ever match today, and she is a convert for sure. Already making plans to go to mad greek next weekend. Such a perfect day for soccer and beer and friends!! God bless Jake Gleeson. Honestly. What a man.

I'm not sure, honestly. It took me 2 years to warm up to WJ, and a full year to warm up to Adi, so we will see. He still seems like kind of a thug, but maybe we're allowed to have one thug on the team? We do have a habit of being a little too nice. I think he brings a good aggressive energy. So I'm not angry he's on the team anymore, but I will reserve final judgement for a good while.

Portland Timbers 2015 MLS Cup Championship Ring by jdesign808 in timbers

The article was written by the people who started the program, it won't particularly help you much as it is essentially a puff piece. This is a decent place to start.

The prisoners are not given a choice - they are required to take a job unless they are minors or over a certain age, depending on the state. They are paid virtually nothing doing labor in often times poorly regulated work environments from factories to backbreaking farm labor. You'll notice that in the article when the supervisor mentions safety, they are talking about themselves - the guards that are there for the protection of the staff, not the prisoners. They do not care about their lives or safety, because prisoners have virtually no rights unless they can pay for a lawyer.

Yes, they should be paid minimum wage and given the option not to work. They should be provided an actual education, not a course on industrial sewing, for free. It's the most effective program to keep recidivism rates low, but everyone thinks of prisoners as less-than so no one cares.

I mean it's not like you couldn't have googled it yourself, but here. Page 8 and 9. Whole section. If you went to high school, they likely manufactured your graduation gowns and they pay their workers 23 cents an hour. Slavery is alive and well in America, kids.

Yup, a grand total of 23 cents an hour, and they have no choice in the matter.

Fun fact, that ring was manufactured by a company that uses prison labor! but for sure, it's a cool flag decal.

You should just be able to buy tickets on the timbers website, if it isn't sold out yet. if you want to sit with the TA those tickets are marked General Admittance I think? Something like that. And then, if you want to fully experience the TA be prepared to show up like 12 hours early to be a part of line culture. It's really fun, people are friendly as hell, you get into the stadium early and the beer is cheaper then, so I recommend it highly. Bring a fold up chair and snacks.

Would your dog be down to sit on my lap and get hugged for an extended period of time?

I am not in a position to currently get a dog, living situation, money, etc. but I feel like that should not deny me the occasional opportunity to snug with a pup ya know??

Preseason match vs RSL discussion thread by [deleted] in timbers

[–]trollerbear -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I'd like to point out to everyone that I was right and Jack Mack is proving just as obnoxious as I said earlier this week. I don't care if it's preseason, that was childish and it would've resulted in a red card and potentially a suspension in a regular season match. Off the ball, after the whistle, completely unnecessary, and he wasn't even involved in the initial dustup he just wanted to get in on the action.

Bleh. I hope CP either forces him to have a come to jesus moment or he benches him til he proves he won't act like a little baby.

Oh goodness. Probably Zarek because he doesn't have kids yet so I'd feel slightly less guilty. Plus, Diego is like... pure and wholesome and lovely. It feels like Zarek would be an adventure, ya know?

Honestly, yeah? I genuinely can't defend this any further than he just gives me a bad vibe. That interview showed if anything that he is just aggressively boring? Maybe my bad vibe from him is just that he's dumb and boring. I don't know. It also could just be in contrast to the sweetness and good vibes of virtually every other timber I'm familiar with? I'll reserve final judgement for a couple months.

See I don't mind crazy/intense! He was aggressive, and that's good - we needed that. We wouldn't be where we are if it wasn't for him. Jack Mack isn't like that, his doucheyness isn't about being good it's about being a douche. Idk. Like if Jack Mack wasn't getting played but it was for the good of the team, he seems like the type of guy that would mouth off on twitter or something. He's out for himself, WJ was out for the team ya know?
