:2: Hello Seahawks fans. I'll keep this post as brief, seeing as we're in the middle of a huge game against the Redskins.
I come from a lineage of casual 49er fans, and for all intents and purposes this is only my second season as a real football fan (following games, fan bases, players, etc.). While I found that I love the Niners players, the fan-base seems to be riddled with people who will never be satisfied or content with what their team is doing.
Over the course of the season I was progressively drawn more and more to the Seahawks organization, the more I found out about the Seahawks, the more they seemed to fit with what I like in a football team. Specifically, what attracted me here is as follows, in order:
1- Marshawn Lynch. My favorite player at my favorite position. Nobody runs with more heart than this guy. He's an absolute spectacle to watch him at work.
2- The uniforms/Team colors. These are clearly the most sheik and sexy colors in the NFL, hands down.
3- Great home stadium. It's simply awe-inspiring that a fan-base and stadium can be such a factor in a professional game. I hope that I see many games at Century Link field in my lifetime.
4- Young, growing team for a young fan like myself.
5- Fanbase. (Let me try to not sound like a suck up here). As a general whole, the 12th man seems to be much more rational, classy, and respectful than many other football teams' fan-bases. The significance of who you associate with in your hobbies and interests cannot be understated, and I'd much rather surround myself with a fan-base like the Seahawks as opposed to the fan-base of the Niners. This was the determining factor for me in fully converting to a Seahawks fan.
There are more reasons I could go on and on with, but in good taste I think I'll spare everyone my life story. With that said, the Niners will remain in my heart as my second favorite team. The Seahawks are now my number 1.
Go 'Hawks. Lets get this win and take it all the way to New Orleans.
