    Not cool with the rally being underwritten by a political entity, regardless of whether I agree or not.

    What a bunch of pussies. A protest rally for 1 hour? That's it?

    What is the Rose Garden? The amphitheater in Washington Park?

    After the MODA center rally, the protesters will proceed to MODA's headquarters downtown, where they will demand the name of the company be changed back to ODS.

    How about changing Moda to Rose Garden? Rose Garden is a better name for insurance than dumbass Moda.

    The Oregonian usually grabs the leadership position in any issue critical of the Blazers. What an accidental memory lapse. They forgot to tell us about this event with liberal overtones.

    Am I the only one who really doesn't care with the arena name change? I'm not going to be calling it the Moda Center and if the extra money it brings in is the tipping point in a decision to go deep into the luxury tax next year if we prove to be a better then expected team this year, then i'm all for it.

    This just smells of someone trying to make a political point and thinking that fans are too stupid to see it.

    I think whoever shows up to the rally should pay the Blazers the amount MODA is paying them, or shut the fuck up about it.

    I don't like the new name, as I've made clear, and I've criticized it, but I don't begrudge the business decision. Actually protesting a company changing its name, or the name of its building? That just seems like an odd way to waste time and energy.

    How about we do something useful and protest to get the MC torn down so we can get a baseball stadium built and get the A's/Rays?

    Out of all the problems in the world I'd consider protesting for this might rank dead last.
