TUKWILA, Wash. (AP) — He’s enemy No. 1 for the Timbers’ Army, which considering there’s a guy holding a working chain saw just a few yards from the playing field might make some slightly uncomfortable.
Seattle’s Roger Levesque is used to it by this point. He’s played the villain long enough to realize he’ll always be in the middle of the Portland-Seattle rivalry as long as he’s playing for the Sounders.
It’s a pretty safe assumption what the general reaction will be Sunday when the Sounders travel south to face the expansion Timbers in the third game of the Cascadia rivalry between Seattle, Portland and the Vancouver Whitecaps.
After all, this is the guy who got booed by Portland fans while playing for the USL Timbers as a temporary replacement during a 2008 exhibition match, with a sign in the stands reading “True Fans Hate Levesque.”
