^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I just don't understand how you can call a team 3000 miles away your
team. I would agree with you that it sucks if KXL airs seahawks ****
when the Blazers should be on. Why can't a different station handle
the different s****ts? Up here in Seattle the Sonics, Mariners, and
Seahawks are all on seperate stations so we don't have that problem.
By the way, I'm not a seahawks fan either, but because I don't like
football. If I did I would root for them. There's other baseball and
basketball teams I like, but usually its based on certain collections
of players playing together, like the Celtics this year with Garnett,
Allen, and Pierce.
I also like the Pistons, who don't have a true star player, but they
play well as a team. In baseball I like the Red Sox, Braves, Padres,
Angels. But I root for my hometown teams above all else, and since
the Sonics are stickin their middle finger up to Seattle I'm rootin'
for the Blazers!
