Six Degrees: Timbers Lose 4-4
Troy Wayrynen-USA TODAY Sports 1) Yeah, Saturday’s 4-4 draw felt like a loss. Even worse, it felt completely deserved. We deserved to lose.
Actually, you know what? Let’s hold off on the soccer talk. This first degree should be about last Wednesday’s San Jose game, the game that didn’t happen. And I’ll start by being pedantic. A lot of people are saying the players boycotted the game, but that’s not accurate. A boycott is when buyers withhold their money. That’s not what happened here, because the players aren’t buyers, they’re employees. And they didn’t withhold their money, they withheld their labor. So, this was a strike, not a boycott.
