Why I'm supporting the Seahawks

[DownriverDem]

The owner of the the Patriots is a trumper. The owner of the Seahawks supports the Dems. We are at war. A lot of folks don't realize how serious things really are now.

[mikewv]

1. As a Steelers fan...

I am of course rooting for the Seahawks to win. However, if I was not a fan of the Steelers, I would still support the Seahawks because of the reasons you stated. GO SEAHAWKS!!!!

[Polybius]

2. As a Jets fan, I'm rooting for whoever makes my football pool box picks come out

I'm in it for the money.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

45. So sorry about your team.

[Deuxcents]

3. I'm for the Seahawks because I'm not fond of Brady..many reasons but one is..he's too full of himself

I’ll be watching the Puppy Bowl n the halftime show and wait for the score 🏈

[ColoringFool]

7. You Know Tom Brady Is Retired, Right?

[Deuxcents]

8. Yes..retired from playing but he's still showing up for the cameras. I could go into his personal life but I won't

say how rotten I think that would make him look.

[FoxNewsSucks]

17. I'll have the Puppy Bowl on also,

I wish I gave a crap about sports, but I don't. In any case, the Puppy Bowl is just too damn good, it should get aired on its own, not tied to the Superbowl.

[pat_k]

49. Meet the 2026 Puppy Bowl Starting Line Up

[Danmel]

4. As a New Yorker, I hate all things Boston sports

Between the Red Sox and Bellichek and Brady and Kraft, just nope. I'll never forget what an asshole Bellichek was when the Giants won the Superbowl. So go Seahawks.

[AZ8theist]

13. I'm from New Jersey

And grew up (and still am) a die-hard Giants and Yankees fan.

But as a youth, I started playing ice hockey, and fell in love with Bobby Orr and the Boston Bruins.
I've been a life-long Bruins fan since the 60's.

A dichotomy? A paradox? Absolutely. But I only claim to be 100x more intelligent than Dotard, so there's that......

[Blasphemer]

44. Ditto. Go 'Hawks! nt

[mr715]

5. They have better colors.

[Tree Lady]

6. I am a 49er fan but lived in WA

For 10 yrs and have a lot of Seahawk fan friends and went to games with them so I have a baseball cap and long sleeve hoody shirt which I plan to wear tomorrow at Mexican place with a ton of tvs and good food.

[shanti]

51. Niners fan here too

East coast vs West coast, so I will begrudgingly give the Sea Chickens my support.

[LiberalLovinLug]

9. Go Hawks!!!!!!

[AverageOldGuy]

10. Ditto

We are Washington Red...... Oooops! Washington Commanders fans from waaaaay back, however, we are SEAHAWKS all the way !!!!

[TheRickles]

11. How about watching it in the hopes that it'll be an exciting game.

Just enjoy the excellence of the sport at its best, and leave the good guys vs. bad guys stuff for Monday.

[Jack Valentino]

12. Well, that's a damn good reason!

Thanks for posting this--- otherwise I wouldn't have had a dog in this fight!

[haele]

14. I'm a Seahawks fan because I was a kid growing up in Seattle

When they got the franchise
Was more of a Sounders fan, though.
Still wish they could bring the Supersonics back.

[QED]

57. Same here...but I wish my Bears had made it.

My dad had season tickets the first few seasons then sold them to my cousin.

[oberle]

15. I'm really conflicted

I want to watch the Seahawks clobber the Patriots; I want to watch the Puppy Bowl; but more than either of those I want to watch the Olympics.

[3catwoman3]

35. Me, too. My husband and I realized earlier this evening...

...that we had no idea who is playing in the Super Bowl -

We like to say that we watch real football, aka soccer, where the players actually use their feet to move the ball for most of the game. My husband says American football should be called "passball."

And, there's pretty much non-stop action in a soccer game. In a 3 hours NFL broadcast, it's been determined that the ball is actually in play for about 12 minutes.

The ice dancing has been exquisite. I enjoyed it so much in real time this afternoon that I am watching it again this evening.

[liberal N proud]

16. Add that to the reason to cheer for Seattle

Already was cheering for them as the center for Seattle is from my wife’s hometown. A town where we lived for 25 years.

[chowmama]

18. For us, the Patriots' history of cheating is enough of a reason.

But yours is good, too.

[maveric]

29. Gimme a break.

[Iggo]

59. Yeah, the Pats need more breaks!

[flvegan]

19. Isn't the Seahawks owner deceased?

Also donated to Republicans? But, whatever.

I'm just hoping for a good game.

[Wiz Imp]

21. Jody Allen (Sister of Paul who died in 2018) is the current controlling owner of the Seahawks

She is a supporter of the Democratic Party and a Democratic donor.

[flvegan]

39. She has an interesting Wiki page.

Interesting not meaning good, necessarily. I honestly spent like 5 minutes (all it was really worth to me) to find donations either directed by her as fiduciary of his estate, or from herself individually to the dem party and didn't find much, at least not recently. I'll take your word for it though.

But hey, if/when the Seahawks win the Super Bowl and go up for sale, the new shitty billionaire owner(s) will have that going for him/her/them.

[IzzaNuDay]

32. The original owner, Paul Allen is deceased.

His sister Jody succeeded him, though she is the trustee over the estate. Not really an owner, but she is the #1.

[Iggo]

60. Not the current one.

[ABC123Easy]

20. I'm a Patriots fan who dislikes Rob Kraft

I've been a fan of the Patriots since 1984 and continue to be and will not stop being one. I understand and respect your reasoning as I extremely dislike the Krafts.

Yet I still remain a Patriots fan. They've been horrible since Brady left. Still I supported the Patriots.

I'm already thrilled with their season win or lose the SB. I would've been thrilled with them going 9-8. They had the easiest schedule of any team in 35 years. Still I support the Patriots.

They have the most wins in SB history. Still I supported them between 1984-1999 when they only had 2 decent seasons.

Robert Kraft is a scumbag. I will still support the Patriots going forward.

[Wiz Imp]

24. The Patriots are only tied with the Steelers for the most wins in Super Bowl history with 6 each.

(and the Steelers got to 6 wins first). For the record, the Patriots are also tied for the most Super Bowl losses (5, tied with Denver).

[IzzaNuDay]

33. well the Seahawks are motivated to help the Pats lose

this is a redemption game for the Seahawks, back to SB49 and that awful play call at the 1 yard line, resulting in the Pats win. Some Seattle fans are still traumatized by that play.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

46. The decision to throw the ball

rather than have Marshawn Lynch run it in must haunt them.

[ABC123Easy]

42. Tied

Tied for 1st is still first

[Wiz Imp]

54. The statement "They have the most wins in SB history" purposely implies that they alone have the most wins.

Your phrasing of that statement was intentionally misleading and self serving.

[ABC123Easy]

43. Oh and

Which team has been to the SB the most times?

[mwmisses4289]

22. I'm not a sports fan, but I ended up in the Seattle area, and loved and consider it home.

I hope the Seahawks win. I most likely will not be watching the game, but I really, really hope the Seahawks win.

(We moved back to red state due to family reasons, but if I could afford move back up there, I would in a heart beat).

[4Sitka]

23. Go Hawks!

[denvine]

25. That is the best reason yet! Thanks!

Go Seahawks!

[EdmondDantes_]

26. I'm not sure how a team winning or losing the Super Bowl plays into politics

I'd wager most owners are problematic to an extent. Jody Allen for example has multiple allegations of sexual harassment and stealing cultural items. Robert Kraft donates to Trump and got busted in sex traffic massage parlors. Multiple owners have strong ties to Epstein, the guy from Carolina dumped a drink on a fan, one of the guys who owns the Jets was Trump's ambassador to someplace. Kind of hard to be a billionaire and not have done some sketchy stuff. Not saying it's not possible, but it's hard.

[FakeNoose]

27. Thanks for giving me a reason to root for the Seahawks

I'm a diehard Steelers fan and I'd kind of lost interest once they were out of the playoffs. (It happened early too.) But the Seahawks are classy, unlike the Patriots.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

28. She and her accidental bizillionaire brother are idiots

I will never support them, they have ruined the Blazers will their meddling for 30 years!!!!! They couldn't pick a good player if David Stern or Adam Silver told them exactly who to pick


Go Niners and I hope for a 0-0 game so nobody enjoys themselves

I am rooting for Bad Bunny to be the greatest halftime show ever and everybody leaves after he performs

The Nfl owners are all in the same club and they all make and share their money in the form of that dreaded billionaire style socialism

[TommyT139]

30. Plus, Kraft & Epstein were buds

...to the point where when Bob Kraft got arrested for contributing to prostitution, Epstein was suggesting Kraft use Epstein's lawyer.

Of course, nothing happened to Kraft, the sleazeball.

[FailureToCommunicate]

31. Trump skipped the event due to thin skin...

He’s afraid he’ll get boos. That’s reason enough for me to be happy with whichever team wins.

PS. Go Pats!

[Mark.b2]

34. While not passionate about either team, I'm for the Patriots...

As a Chiefs fan, I tend toward AFC teams. Also. My family and a Pats TE’s family go way back.

[tritsofme]

36. I don't watch sports through a political lens, I'm just hoping for an exciting game, happy to see some fresh faces.

[Initech]

37. Fuck Robert Kraft!

[William Seger]

38. All #rumpers are Fake Patriots -- get 'em, Seahawks!!!

[JohnnyRingo]

40. Robert Kraft's wife was appointed to the T̷r̷u̷m̷p̷ Kennedy Center Committee.

Kraft is a registered democrat who donated heavily for Obama both times.
It appears since he had been good friends with Trump in the '90s, he donated to his campaign. He claims he hasn't spoken to him since J6, but that's specious given Trump hand picked his wife to sit on the T̷r̷u̷m̷p̷ Kennedy Center.

[hay rick]

41. Long time Giants fan...

My fandom is based on where I lived most of my life (Jersey) and that won't change because of an Epstein-related owner or a dismal record over the last dozen plus years. I'll have a mild preference for the Seahawks because I'm rooting for a Darnold rehabilitation story and I have a lingering resentment of all the GOAT-slobbering over Tom (right time, right place) Brady.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

47. As a Bills fan

all in for the Seahawks!!

[pat_k]

48. Go hawks!

Riding up the elevator in my building this evening a guy got on wearing flip flops with his toenails painted Seahawks colors. Made me smile. I said "great 'nails," he said "I'm getting ready"...

I got to my floor before I had a chance to ask what was next on the list.

[usonian]

50. Well, Democrats rooting for millionaires. May the Trump be with you.

These people play for money, and switch alliances "with the frequency of a cheap ham radio transmitter"

I moved to the west coast, before that Bay Area Brady guy moved to the east coast.
• Now, he's an owner of the Raiders and was behind the All Time 49ers series, shown just last week.
• Seattle has Brock Purdy's last season backup as QB.
• If Seattle wins, all the good players will leave for big paychecks with other teams. (probably the Raiders)
• The NFL does jack for retired players, including ones who are really messed up.
- Does anyone ask how owners and teams take care of their retirees, many of whom have CTE?
• The 49ers, have their own fund to support retired players, because Eddie D. still cares, even after he was tossed as owner.

TRUMP IS AFRAID TO COME TO CALIFORNIA
He's not welcome here.







And he's afraid of the electrical substation in Santa Clara.
Might blow up his pacemaker, chip implants, portable chatbot and Neuralink remote control circuits.



Closet Republicans.
How about donating to a food kitchen instead of buying a $3000.00 TV.?

[mnhtnbb]

52. I am rooting for the Patriots ONLY because Drake Maye

was a Tar Heel. He deserves the Super Bowl win.

I detest Tom Brady. I hate that UNC hired Belichick as head coach. He and his Melania wanna be gold digger girl friend are an embarrassment. Just a total f'ing embarrassment to the University, to the Chapel Hill community, and to the team.

[lark]

53. Don't like Seattle the team, but rooting for them in this case because of the owner.

Also because I dislike the Patriots more than the Seahawks.

[Iggo]

56. "Because they're not the Patriots" is reason enough. (n/t)

[mvd]

58. Eagles fan here also rooting for the Seahawks

New England has won so many times, they have a Repuke owner, and I also hope Darnold wins one.
