Hear, hear, like the caller just said, get rid of the Beavers. Fine by me. Bring on the MLS.

Rochester is still in the USL, not MLS. The MLS will mean matches on TV, advertising and more recognition nationwide.

Portland is a soccer town, Major League Baseball will never work here, in Beaverton maybe, but not in the city center. Look at the excitement and fan loyalty generated by the Timbers, versus the Beavers. Does this fellow expect to bring an English Premiership or German Bundesliga side to Portland? MLS may not be the pinnacle of soccer worldwide, but in the US and Canada it's the best we're going to get. Let's get it while we have the chance.
