This is seriously the worst name they could have possibly chosen. That's one of the characters in the new Star Wars movies, right? Is anybody actually going to call it that? I never thought I'd pine for the days it was named after Enron.
I'll be curious to see if any of more liberal members of the Timbers Army will have a problem with Jeld-Wen being the naming rights partner. They have to be one of the largest contributors to righties in the state, right behind Loren Parks.
People seem more upset by a small-time republican corporate sponsor than by a big-time banking-elite republican owner (yeah, Hank "Goldman Sachs" Paulson owns a big chunk of this franchise).
But wait! This whole deal benefits Portland somehow, even beyond the drunken man-children in the Timbers army! Even though we're throwing tens of millions of taxpayer dollars into the kitty!
Yeah, I love all the positivity I've seen from the timbers army. Bunch of whining fucking sycophantic pussies. Sorest winners I've ever seen, with their noses so tightly wedged up some junior plutocrats ass, they have no idea they're being played. Have fun with that, at the expense of all the uncool things Portland doesn't really need. You know, like mental health services.
I don't hate Portland, but I sure hate the way its current leadership shovels taxpayer pork to the super wealthy at the expense of the old, the young, the ill and the poor.
1. So are they the Klamath Falls Timbers?
2. Why the hell does Peregrine get to sell the naming rights? WE own the stadium; Peregrine just manages it.
"DE-FENESTRATE!"

Stay gold, Portland.
