of the Washington Spirit in a $35 million sale earlier this year.
There are no public figures for an independent valuation of the Thorns, but considering the team’s history of three championship wins in 2013, 2017 and 2022, two NWSL Shields in 2016 and 2021, plus the team’s ability to drive revenue, the final number could even surpass $50 million.
Paulson wrote in his statement: “I am fully committed to doing all that is necessary to ensure a smooth transition and the continued success of the Thorns, including providing favorable usage terms for Providence Park that will enable the Thorns to continue to capitalize on their popularity in Portland.”

Portland supporters are also attempting to fund their own purchase of, at minimum, a stake in the team.Right now, it seems like there should be no impact at all.

The Impact of a Woodland Walk on Body Image: A Field Experiment and an Assessment of Dispositional and Environmental DeterminantsStudies have shown that nature exposure is associated with a more positive body image, but field studies remain relatively infrequent. Here, we examine the impact of a woodland walk on an index of state positive body image (i.e., state body appreciation), as well as dispositional and environmental determinants of body image improvements. Eighty-seven Polish women went for a walk in Cyga&324;ski Las, an ancient woodland, and completed a measure of state body appreciation before and after the walk. As hypothesised, state body appreciation was significantly higher post-walk compared to pre-walk (d=0.56). Additionally, we found that the trait of self-compassion—but not the traits of connectedness to nature, perceived aesthetic qualities of the woodland, or subjective restoration—was significantly associated with larger improvements in state body appreciation. These results suggest that even relatively brief exposure to nature results in elevated state body appreciation, with the dispositional trait of self-compassion being associated with larger effects.
