So Seattle had a Super Bowl stolen from them yesterday. I know people will say that a few bad calls do not a super bowl win make, but the bad calls came at game turning times, and they were the kind of calls that kill a teams momentum and mindset.
The Seahawks made a lot of mistakes, but they also did enough to overcome those mistakes – had the refs let them. It was horrible to watch, and a lot of major sportswriters agree.
Here’s the thing. If this had been Philadelphia, there would be riots. People would drive to Pittsburgh just to steal the trophy. Heads would roll and there would be much booing involved. Steelers fans might be fearing for their lives.
But this isn’t Philly, this is Seattle, where everyone is way too nice. Sure a few football fans were angry, but for the most part the city gave a collective yawn with some “we’ll get em next years” thrown in. Maybe that’s why we don’t get calls. Do you think the refs would be making questionable calls against a city that boos Santa Claus? I don’t. So now I’m on a mission to make Seattle tougher.
As a season ticket holder next year, I’m going to boo, get rowdy and bring a little Philly toughness to Seahawks games.
