I think 100% of people cheering for a USA team in the olympics would say "we won GOLD" in the 4x100 replay not "They won gold" in the 4x100 relay.

You would say "we" because you identify as being on their side, and like them as Americans.

Given that the team is in your city, it's not much different. You are from Seattle and thus you identify a Seattle sports team as with you.

I'm not from Seattle, and although I realize that you didn't intend it in the manner which I took it, I bristle a bit at the use of Seattle in the manner which you've used it. It was a state wide ballot measure that approved the stadium and kept the team here. Thank God that we didn't entrust the Seahawks to the city of Seattle like we did the Sonics.

It's a regional team, with Seattle having the name and location of the venue.

Ahh one of those Cascadia People :)

LOL!

I live in the Tri Cities, so I'm further away from the Cascades than any resident of the Puget Sound area.
