Think Out Loud

At every Portland Timbers match, the energy is highest at the north end of Providence Park. This is where the Timbers Army, one of the most passionate supporter groups in the league, show their love for their team. But it’s not always just about the game; banners for social causes like antifascism and refugees are also common. The recent ban on signage the league deems “political” has rankled some Timbers Army diehards. To talk to us about this and why human rights are core to their ethos, we are joined by Timbers Army community liaison Stephan Lewis. Also joining us is Mike Golub, president of business for the Timbers.
