Screw Charlie Gibson. And don’t waste your time watching the three part interview of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin on ABC. Don’t bother with the New York Times or Washington Post.
The sports blogosphere has uncovered her most egregious act. Northwest Sports Magazine has learned that Palin is a card carrying member of the Seahawkers fan club, the official fan club of your Seattle Seahawks. OK, I’m not really happy that she’s one of us, but there’s more.
With Leather has learned that Palin also told a Pittsburgh newspaper that she cheers for the Steelers. Has been since the ‘70s. The Steelers. The Pittsburgh Steelers. Let it settle in….
The Steelers hatred runs deep in Seattle and the Super Bowl XL scars will last forever. Just to give you an idea of how much Seahawk fans hate anything Steelers, I once saw a quarter of the stadium boo a guy who was walking up to his seats wearing a Jerome Bettis jersey.
I’m not condoning tossing food and beverage products, but let’s just say the Bettis wannabe didn’t have to make a run to the concession stand during the game. It came to him.
On another occasion, I witnessed a couple of 20-somethings spend the better part of two quarters of football flicking quarters at a guy wearing a Steelers cap. They must have run through $50 in change.
So, here’s my question. Is there any way we can excommunicate Palin from the Seahawks fan club?

It makes sense that a "tough" woman would favor a "tough" football team like the Steelers. You're anecdotes reflect the cowardly SeaSquawks fans which rightfully support their equally soft team. Obviously, you have the same short term memory of other Squawk fans who have obliterated any remembrance of last year's beat down at Heinz field. The east coast media bias (anything east of Lake Sammamish) which haunts all Seattle fans, has noted the softies from Seattle long before Shauna's dances to the sidelines. Memorable is the image of the Squawks hovering in their whites in the shade of those pussy WalMart covers put out to "shelter" them along with the flunkies spritzing them while the Steelers were yucking it up in their blacks. Oh it was sooo, soo hot and humid in the Burg - almost as uncomfortable as the snow in Green Bay or last week's early game time in Buffalo. What a bunch of crybabies. Am I referring to the team or fans? Take your pick both apply. One can understand your being crestfallen as it was your only chance to get close to the Lombardi. A sniff is all you got and it is the closest this bunch of softies will ever get. Looks like another 40 year wait. No wonder the national media has twice anointed Seattle as the worst sports team in the universe. A loser city for a bunch of loser fans. By the way living in the Seattle area, I can still walk with impunity throughout Seattle (the city and not the county) with a Steeler shirt and get appoving nods from most people.
Congratulations on your T-shirt being such a big hit. You must be very proud.
