Hypothetical - If Behring had moved the Seahawks to Anaheim in 1996, would you have transferred your allegiance to the new location? Or would you have adopted another NFL team, or maybe refused to barrack for ANYONE else?
I've no interest in basketball, but I've noticed there is little love for Oklahoma City Thunder here, from the transplanted Sonics.
I would NOT have "changed geography" [1], and I kinda assume most folks here would not have, either, especially if they lived locally... I'd like to read some opinions here! I was outraged when I read about the proposed move, at the time, and posted my fury, totally off-topic, of course, to a Pink Floyd email list. That was how I met my dear friends who I stayed with for 3 weeks in Poulsbo, WA, later that year. I didn't even get told off by the list owner for the post!
Met him on same trip, in San Francisco, and he toured me through the University of California campus, and Berkeley in general. Awesome place.
The horrible irony is that, at the time, I may have chosen the damned Patriots or Steelers, both of which I now of course hate with a passion.
[1] Maybe weird, coming from half a planet away. But I was SO touched by Cortez Kennedy's declaration that his contract was with the SEATTLE Seahawks, and he wouldn't be going. My allegiance, not that anyone would care, was identical.
