Nope. And I would have been done with the NFL forever sort of like how I walked away from baseball after the 1994 strike.

No, and I may be happier for it lol. I'd have so much more time in the day if I didn't have the Seahawks to root for.

What the hell man, i thought my wounds finally healed from the Sonics and you just ripped it open again...

I would not root for the Seahawks at all if they had moved to any other state. I would actually root against them, do voodoo spells, and bad mouth them every time they are mention. Enjoy the delicious tears of the new city fans when they lose and the superstars leave!

No. Haven’t watched the NBA since the Sonics left town either.

Of course not. I'd still enjoy watching NFL games but wouldn't pick a replacement team to root for.

Same....and I'm originally from Portland and was never really a Sonics fan even once I moved up here....the Sonicsgate action just soured me on the entire NBA.

I still don’t fully understand the attempted move by sleazeball Behring back in 1996. I know why he wanted to move, but I don’t understand why he thought he could just go ahead and “announce” the team was moving to California and bring in moving trucks. WTF!! I guess they didn’t have nearly the same hoops to jump through back in the day for moving a franchise.

No, they were also going to change the name to BlackHawks to associate with Behrings Real Estate enterpirses and business.

Yes. The closest I've ever been to Seattle is San Francisco. The location has never mattered to me. If anything, I'd prefer they be in LA because I'm actually there from time to time.

No.

Heck no.

Absolutely not.

Likely would have no longer watched the NFL. I've yet to watch a full NBA game since the Sonics left. That sport is dead to me.

I'd have went back to my boyhood favorites that I rooted for before the birth of the Seahawks.

Go ask the Browns fans how many of them root for the Ravens.

I would root for any team that played a Behring owned team. In other words, they would be my least favorite team.

Just like I hope that the OKC Thunder gets buried in mediocrity.

I probably wouldn't watch the NFL at all and switch my allegiance to college football.

What amazes me is that there are actually people that voted yes.
