History

In 1993, a new league, the Continental Indoor Soccer League (CISL) began its first season. Traditionally, indoor soccer has been a winter sport, but the CISL decided to play a summer season. This would keep it from competing with the more established National Professional Soccer League.

The Portland Pride was a founding member of the CISL, being established on October 1, 1992. Owned by Brian Parrott, the team played its home games in Portland, Oregon’s Memorial Coliseum. In 1995, Parrott sold the team to a group led by Norm Daniels.

In 1997, the team and the league played its last season. At the end of the season, the CISL folded and the Pride ownership moved the team to the Premier Soccer Alliance where the team played under the name Portland Pythons.

gollark: Maybe someone actually *has* been insane enough to make GCC able to compile to LLVM, who knows.
gollark: Oh, right. That would have been easier than doing it by hand.
gollark: Did you just randomly decide to calculate that?
gollark: Well, you can, or also "it would have about the same mass as the atmosphere".
gollark: Wikipedia says that spider silk has a diameter of "2.5–4 μm", which I approximated to 3μm for convenience, so a strand has a 1.5μm radius. That means that its cross-sectional area (if we assume this long thing of spider silk is a cylinder) is (1.5e-6)², or ~7e-12. Wikipedia also says its density is about 1.3g/cm³, which is 1300kg/m³, and that the observable universe has a diameter of 93 billion light-years (8.8e26 meters). So multiply the length of the strand (the observable universe's diameter) by the density of spider silk by the cross-sectional area of the strand and you get 8e18 kg, while the atmosphere's mass is about 5e18 kg, so close enough really.
