Yeah, whine a bunch about the new “corporate” name of the venue while you chug $12 Bud Lights and wear the official NBA-licensed apparel of a major league sports team owned by a billionaire corporatist.

The Blazers aren’t yours and neither are the Timbers, the Winterhawks, the Hops or any other big name sports team.

Worse yet, when you’re not following your favorite sports corporation, you’re prattling on about the “indie ethic” and “DIY culture”. If you practiced what you preached, you’d be enthusiastically watching pick-up games at the park, not pseudo-post-ironcally pining for a Blazers championship that happened a full half decade before you were born.

  5. Bullshit! My issue is with my insurance company spending 40 plus million over ten years as marketing. And has does MODA/ODS make money? From the OHP and from private insurance premiums.

    Are these the same assholes that are going to deny a coverage for someone in my family in the next ten years, probably.

    Are these the same son of a bitches that raise my deductible so even though I have a good job a doctor’s visit costs me $200, yep that them.

    Our Health Care System sucks and it will never get better. With my job I two choices come this January, and the other is worse the ODS/MODA.

    So should I now be pleased that Rose Garden is now the MODA Center? And what the fuck does MODA stand for?

  8. Moda Center being next door to the Memorial Coliseum means we may refer collectively to the area as MC Squared.

  9. So does this 40 million get factored into how MODA spends your premiums? My guess is probably not, that somehow the city, the blazers and Moda figured a way to spend this money and skirt the premium law, probably by pulling the funds from some shady scheme that is not “premiums”. I’d like to see some investigation on that.
