Not feeling this platform the way you used to? Yeah. Same. That’s why we’ve been posting to Bluesky (and Threads) all season long. Going forward, you’re likely to find a lot more content on other platforms. #BAONPDX . ➡️

Not our club- but still our concern. The repeated misgendering of @nwsl player Quinn has got to stop. Commentators can practice beforehand if they're encountering trouble getting pronouns right. Further, a quick correction in the moment is completely appropriate. #WeCanDoBetter.

We can respect an individual's experience- but that personal experience doesn't nullify another's (contradictory) experience. When someone tells you they've been harmed, it's not a time to compare your differing encounter. It's time to center the victim & demand justice. #BAONPDX.

We believe players, we support players, we will always actively amplify player needs and concerns- not just for the Thorns, but throughout the league. Every day seems to reveal more disconcerting realities for players, both historically and now. We won't stand idly by. #BAONPDX.

This is all of you, Riveters! Congratulations on YOUR award, & thank you most especially to those of you who give your extra time to help us do good in the name of support. Thank you @budweiserusa for your sponsorship of the league, & this special acknowledgement. We are humbled.

Regarding Horan & her physical (& fair to say political) stance before the USWNT match: we join you in your disappointment and disagreement. We hope she will dedicate time to listening & learning, which will help her to utilize her privilege. #BAONPDX.

We support the athletes in the NWSL, & condemn targeted harassment of players. We suggest folks read the words of Black players & those who support them; to understand that specific language matters. Remember, impact matters more than intent when it comes to racism & harm.

Never forget that chant. It’s not going away until the wrongs are righted and action is taken. It’ll be heard everywhere. You. Knew. YOU KNEW. YOU KNEW. YOU KNEW. #BAONPDX.

One of our favorite Junior Riveters will always be a Riveter no matter where she goes. We've enjoyed watching her grow over the years, and have most especially loved our post-match moments. So long for now, Edie! We will meet again soon ❤.#BAONPDX

This is why we have to fight for what is right, just, and good- and yes, that means actively anti-racist & anti-fascist- in the terraces & beyond. *You* should be angry. You should sear this in your memory; write it on your heart. Don’t back down- these are the stakes. #BAONPDX

We’ve grown the game- and now, we watch the league- and women’s soccer everywhere- evolve and mature. Bittersweet, but also exciting. Drop your favorite Tobin Heath memory. ❤️ #BAONPDX

It's Match Day! We root for the Thorns. We support players on and off the pitch. And effective immediately, we don't buy stuff at in-stadium concessions- from hotdogs to pints to jerseys. Grab food & drink nearby + make a donation to @nwsl_players instead. See ya there! #BAONPDX.

It was with disgust and deep disappointment that we read the remarks of Utah Royals owner Dell Loy Hansen regarding the MLS player strikes. The Rose City Riveters believe that no matter the league, athletes do not have to accept abuse, betrayal, or disrespect.

Y. Michele Kang deserves support & recognition as the right owner of the Spirit. We advocate for a league with integrity & support the wishes of Spirit supporters & players. We urge PTFC to support Kang via their role on the NWSL Board of Governors. Sell the team to Kang, Steve.

Many of you have inquired about the policies regarding display of anti-fascist symbology in the North End. Our understanding from the FO is that no warnings or bans will be forthcoming from last night’s game. We perceive this as an unofficial change to stadium policy. #BAONPDX.

As many of us prepare to cheer on @TimbersFC (kick at 6:30), we have someone on our collective hearts/minds. Thinking of you and wishing you well, @HayleyRaso. ❤️.

An INCREDIBLE moment for @nwsl_players- please take a minute to understand and acknowledge this historic occasion. THE FIRST Collective Bargaining Agreement in women’s professional soccer history. Compensation, Free Agency- there’s so much covered here- it’s momentous. #BAONPDX

You’ll notice the banners are a little bit different today. Some reference a white rose (weiße rose), an antifascist/resistance group you can read about here: This is a supporter-led initiative, and you may see those white roses throughout the North End.

Some things are indeed bigger than rivalries. Today, @RoyalGuard_SG will silence at the 24:00 mark to amplify our demand for transparency & accountability from the Front Office. We humbly thank them for reaching out and providing solidarity! #BAONPDX.

And for you long-standing supporters: there will be new people all around us soon! So let’s make them feel welcome. Share chant sheets and friendly exchanges; talk about what we do and why both in and out of the North End. There’s a bit of a learning curve, if you’ve never been!.
