There’s a Twitter beef brewing between Orlando Pride forward Sydney Leroux and Merritt Paulson, majority owner for the Portland Thorns and the Portland Timbers of MLS.
Leroux on Tuesday tweeted Paulson “implemented a rule” that meant she couldn’t bring her 1-year-old son, Cassius, onto the pitch after Sunday’s game between the Orlando Pride and the Portland Thorns at Providence Park.
Paulson immediately fired back at Leroux.
“Instead of inventing conspiracy theories and drama maybe you would be better off focusing on playing? Just a thought,” Paul said in a tweet, which has since been deleted.
After he deleted his original response to Leroux, he sent another one.
