Seahawk Fans Waver On Team
I just got back from a trip to Seattle. My sister married. The event gave me a chance to reunite with several aunts, uncles and cousins I haven’t seen in a long time. One of my aunts is a huge Seahawks fan. At least that is what I remember most about Aunt Anne. Anne told me she recently went to a Seattle Sounders game and led me to believe she was becoming a fan of the team. Her son is a huge fan.

And in the same breathe admitted she is waning on the Seattle Seahawks. I can’t blame my aunt. It’s not like the Seahawks recent record the last two season (9-23) did anything to inspire her or the 12th Man. It must be pretty bad in Seattle, when a professional soccer team, the Sounders, are turning people away from the mainstream Hawks. 
I’m not going to break down the Sounders. All I know is the team is 4-5 and second to last in their group. Sure, I’m happy my aunt still supports the Seahawks but she is showing support for another football team, which is somewhat surprising.
Is that a problem Seahawk fans? A trend sure to continue? Probably not, football is king in Seattle and around the nation. Still, I would not be surprised if more Seahawk fans jump on the Sounders bandwagon because the Seahawks have stopped winning games. Or maybe it’s the fact the Sounders are new, fresh, something different. And that is why that appeals to people.

Whatever the case is, I’m not worried. Pete Carroll is in place, the team looks great after the draft and free agency. The NFC West is up for grabs. Here’s hoping Matt Hasselbeck and company can stay healthy and restore order in the division and the NFC west once again. That would give once die hard but now waving Seahawk fans like my Aunt Anne a reason to believe in the towns true football team.
