Boycott Timbers and Thorns until Merritt Paulson is gone

[Guest]

They were “caught”? No they were exposed. Now it is up to us to hold them accountable. Great that the lower level coach and managers were fired, but what about the buck stops here guy that tried to cover it all up and railroad the investigation?

Oh that’s right….he got caught. No, he has to go. Boycott the sh-t out of this until he goes. If you don’t you are also an enabler.

Support is great, but if the perpetrators are still there, support for you doesn’t really matter much.

Caught by exposure. Perps are '"there" somewhere, but the players have always been here and need our support more than ever. Boycott them too? Not now when they need us most.

When the players see an empty stadium they will know change is coming. If they look up and see the stands packed they will know nothing will change.

This is fact. The people going to the game are only supporting the current owners. Period

So funny how you are trying to ‘mansplain’ how everyone else should behave.

The players, you know the actual women who are on the team, want THEIR fans to stand with them. They do not want to be abandoned in a time of their greatest need for support.

You part of the patriarchal power structure that continues to tell women how they should behave. And, that makes you a bigger part of the problem than any fan who attends the game. You would rather punish these women who have done nothing wrong than provide them with the type support they are asking for.

First of all I am a women.

Such a predictable response. You are most definitely not. It is pretty obvious based on how you write.

Wow, calm down Merritt. Women can write in all different styles, just like men. By the way, did you check out those nude photos of Hope Solo? And do you still think Riley is a “great hire”.

By the way, I am a woman too.

Why are you unsure of what to do? Most semi-intelligent adults can see what is obviously the right choice.

If an NBA owner was obviously racist and discriminated against players, would fans boycott until they were replaced? Yes, and it has happened in Sacramento and other cities.

But since this happened to women athletes no one seems to care.

I hope more people than not make the right choice and send the right message. Merritt Paulson must go.

"Support the players by giving the people who enabled their abuse money."

The whole thing needs to be rebuilt, from youth programs upward, for both Timbers and Thorns. Rip the band-aid off now. Mail the players your ticket money if that will help.

message boards suck. 1 our of 40 posts has information that is helpful in this forum. The rest is just anonymous arguing. And yet I sett sat and read this stuff despite the nonproductivity for the last 20 minutes. I guess I suck too.

I totally agree. Your post completely sucks. Thanks for being one of the 39 out of 40 stupid posts

BOYCOTT the game and show the owners that they are not welcome here.

Becky Sauerbrunn is the only player that is willing to stick her neck out and basically call out Paulson.

The investors and owners are scared that people won’t show up. They keep putting press out and making the players give press conferences. Don’t go! Send the message. They are not welcome here and we will not put up with this abuse of women ever again.
