Were you hoping that the world of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) would never enter the realm of the Portland Timbers? Then prepare to have your hopes shattered. ESPN’s Jeff Carlisle reported and Major League Soccer announced on Thursday that ahead of this weekend’s nationally televised matchups — Saturday’s between the Timbers and LA Galaxy and Sunday’s between Seattle Sounders FC and Atlanta United FC — there will be an “art battle”.
What does this battle entail? Each team will have an artist (the Timbers’ artist goes by Mighty Short) who will create an art piece inspired by soccer.
