Internal emails reveal Blazers debated responding to Portland's Moda Center questionsInternal emails obtained by KATU show Trail Blazers leaders debated whether to respond to the City of Portland's questions for commitments on private investmentkatu.com

WOAH. Blazers leaked emails show they refused to respond to city emails asking basic questions, weeks before any “first-class” claim was mentioned, contradicting Dewayne Hankins claim that that claim “chilled negotiations” They were not negotiating in good faith since the beginning.

ultimately so funny that rip city mgmt’s approach in these emails was “we would rather die than create a written public record of anything we say or do” and then their lawyer just forwarded the whole thing to the City

Consider the people you know in 2026 who are wiling to answer an unknown number, listen to a pitch, and then willingly subject themselves to several minutes of questions about politics, a topic which almost no one alive enjoys - and ask yourself how well these folks represent the rest of us.

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

Imagine the amount of propaganda it took to convince millions of people that healthcare, food assistance, social programs, clean water, clean air, good wages, housing, equal rights, diversity, and a healthy planet for all people was somehow a threat to America and to Christianity.

I wrote an open letter to Blazers President of Business Operations Dewayne Hankins following his testimony to Portland City Council yesterday. I will include a few excerpts in the replies, but please check out the full piece: www.blazersedge.com/trail-blazer...

this guy gets it

They’re effectively demanding the city either give up power with no return, potentially exposing us to greater liability in arena maintenance down the road, or negotiate blind. This is just plain bad faith negotiation. Then they go on to complain about the city economy and taxes because why not?

It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that

Apparently it's more rude to tell someone to stop interrupting people than it is to constantly interrupt people 🙃

My heart has been with Rip City fans today. ❤️‍🔥 You've loved this team through thick and thin for generations. 56 years! 🥺 You deserve a future where the Blazers stay in Portland, and you deserve a negotiation that respects both your loyalty and this city. I'm going to keep fighting for both. 🫶🏾

high income taxes and a divisive political environment prevents basketball success? wow, the Knicks really won't ever win a title huh

Brainstorming session in Dundon's suite before this meeting: "How can we get the people of this city to give us another couple hundred million?" "That's easy. We tell them we hate every fucking thing about them and their city and everything they stand for." Business genius.

After enjoying fifty years of devoted fandom and support I find it downright shameful for a pro sports team to send their lobbyist to city hall and just flatly say into the mic that the city sucks, in an effort to shake ‘em down for hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars with zero accountability

i like avalos' point that portlanders are technically paying thrice because state, county, and city tax dollars are all going to this. really good from a rhetorical standpoint
