If Blazers moved to Seatlle and became the Sonics would you still root for them?

    How about a big forum get together where we would burn all our Blazers gear?

    Is blazers gear a special code word for Seattle?

    I would root for them, but only when I paid attention to them which wouldn't be very often. For instance, I wouldn't be posting in message boards.

    Same deal as the Seahawks. They're from the NW so I root for them, but I don't pay attention much - I'm really a Steelers fan.

    As a former Beaver, I root for OSU. But UO is from Oregon so I root for them when they're not playing OSU.

    That's cool. I actually have a friend that was a Sonics fan and is now an OKC fan. But he lives in Ohio and started to be a Sonics fan cause he liked Shawn Kemp. I figure if you've become a fan for some whacky reason other than living in Portland you'd probably still watch the team cause you still root for the players.

    Most fans of most teams are fans of said team because they live in the city that the team plays in and that's the only reason they're fans. I know that's why I'm a Blazers fan. If they moved I would go to the city they moved to and incite a riot.
