The women's Portland Thorns soccer team is removing a popular T-shirt from their team's website once criticism from social media started. Available for less than 24 hours, the T-shirt had sold well.

How sad that the team felt compelled to remove the T-shirt that both fans and the team liked in response to others who had criticism. I wonder how many of those doing the criticism live in Portland, or even knew the team existed prior to the devilish T-shirt being unleashed upon the unsuspecting world.
I like the saying. Its a fun play on words and promotes the team name - "Thorns." Don't you get it? Portland - City of Roses. Thorns. Thorny. Idiot criticism. I think some people make it their life's mission to seek out ways to be offended. They are not happy unless they are offended. This is an excellent T-shirt that fans want to buy and wear. They should not be denied. I hope the T-shirt is put back on the team's website.
Go Thorns!
