I love the Timbers, but the taunting of opposing fans, whether it's from the collective Army section or from individuals just lacks class. I realize I may be fighting against a long tradition in soccer overall, but who cares.

Especially when their team just lost the game - do you have to shake your scarf at them? They flew all the way from San Jose. Jeez.

However, taunting would have been appropriate if it were targeted at the homophobe Gordon on his way to the bus. What a douche.

I LOVE PEOPLE!!!

@azure, that was before the game. Just SJ fans being SJ fans. He was stupid to taunt them, but it in no way excuses that band of thugs. SJ fans are literally the worst in MLS, and that's saying something.

The Earthquakes are what happened when someone gave Raiders fans an MLS team.

It's not Earthquakes fans in general. It's the 1906 Ultras specifically. They like to equate themselves to an eastern euro ultra group. Basically they want to fight and steal scarves, banners, etc.

I think it is very clear that Portland Timbers fans, specifically the Timbers Army, against all forms of violence and bigotry (The Timbers Army was selected as "Gay for Soccer's 2012 Ally of the Year.") For some commenters to think that there is any such endorsement of violence tell me that that person may have never been to a match. There are those who come to games looking for trouble and try to start shit up. As a collective, we deal with it by calling it out and working with security to remove it. Violence and hate is not tolerated and there is no place for it in football.

I see more Timbers Army on Timbers Army violence than I see directed towards the opposing team. Especially during Tetris when many beers are knocked over and seats lost. Can you guys please get rid of that one? It was cute for a game or two.
