Yes, the Seattle area of WA is very liberal, mostly King County while all of Eastern WA is very conservative. If you look at state wide elections, all Eastern WA counties are usually red as well as many in Western WA. King County however is always very Blue which unfortunately is usually enough to carry the vote.

That being said, the Seahawks are NOT just a Seattle Team. The state supports them very well as does much of the Pacific Northwest. Are all of our players classy? No, but most of them are. I believe that Sherman was wrong getting the taunting penalty but when a person is fired up right after the game, it might be best to wait on the interview.
And yes... Russell Wilson is very much a class act.

I’ve been a Seahawk fan since their inception in the 70s, so I’m very excited about this Super Bowl. I just hope we don’t see a repeat of Superbowl XL.

GO HAWKS!!!!

I've been a 'Hawks fan since moving here in '85. Been waiting - hoping since I was a teen - for 30 years for a championship in any (real) sport. Fans from cities where the teams win every few years cannot relate, but the 49ers fans boasting about the "Quest for Six", implying that because they already have five Lombardis they're somehow entitled to a sixth makes this victory ESPECIALLY SWEET.

This may finally be the year, but it's going to exact a level of play that exceeds even their finest performances.

GO HAWKS!!!

A repeat of Superbowl XL where Mike Holmgren didn't review enough film to short circuit a gadget play with an obvious signature that Cowher had used no less than three previous times that season?

Or did you mean a replay of Superbowl XL where Holmgren's defensive coordinator stacked the box with nine guys, failing to take into account that the Steeler running back was faster than every man on the field, and that if he got loose into the Seahawk's secondary would take the ball to house for the longest run in Superbowl history?

Sounds like the ONE "replay" of Superbowl XL we can almost certainly expect is that if the Seahawks lose, they'll spend the next ten years blaming the refs. Holding is holding. offensive pass interference is offensive pass interference, and during the entire season leading up to Superbowl XL, cutting the lead blocker was a penalty for every team.

You lost. Get over it. It's poor sportsmanship and nothing more.
