How we as a fanbase can be more Seattle inclusive.

Clearly that's what our corporate overlords, the NORTHWEST Trailblazers want.



Let's start calling ourselves the 6s.

Butt hurt much?

How many threads do we need with you basically saying the same thing?

A lot.

A lot.

Or maybe the mods could merge the four current threads on the topic into one megathread.

The Cascadia Trail Blazers!

There are as many Cal fans as their are Seattle fans. We should go for the whole West Coast!

Where are the other threads specifically talking about the Blazers courting the Seattle market?

 

[BBert]

Am I imagining it, or is there a little bit of a Seattleist undercurrent on the board the last couple of days?

He's spouting the same paranoid conspiracy theory in all the Mike and Mike and Calabro threads. There is nothing new in this thread that he hasn't posted a couple dozen times already in those threads.

But if having his own thread makes him feel better that's fine. I'll ignore it. I won't see anything here I haven't already seen repeatedly in the other threads

I mean... I don't think he's necessarily wrong.... but I think he's thinking too small. I don't think this move was done specifically to court the Seattle market. I think this move was done because they want nationally/internationally respected guys who will attract viewers from around the country/around the world. In my opinion, Seattle is small potatoes. With the internet, they can increase their market globally. And with Dame/CJ as two of the most marketable personalities in the NBA, I can see why.

As long as this thread exists might as well say "Fuck Seattle!" When there is space on the server to hold those bits of information, it's a worthy application.

If the city of Seattle ever needed proof we're a true "little brother " shit like this will definitely stop it

Why is it okay for cities like Boston and New York to have a rivalry, but we can't hate Seattle? They have been our rivals for decades.

Ducks/Huskies

Blazers/Sonics

Timbers/Sounders

Why is this so hard to understand?

We are smaller. But I don't remember a blood test desigmating us as a familial relation.

Yeah, its Portcum vs. Shittle.

Nothing wrong with it at all; doesn't change our little brother status. Boston is absolutely little brother to New York. St. Louis is little bro to Chicago. Cleveland is little bro to Pittsburgh. Most inter-city rivalries involve a status disparity; ours is no different.

Bingo. As it should be. I don't know the Cascadia thing is really. Should I hate the Canucks?

I'm just sick of people not understanding the hatred for that town, and the lack of understanding why some of us will NEVER support the Seahawks.

 

[Orion Bailey]

come on man. How many new threads for this do we need? Everyone knows some of you are seriously pissed, but don't make it harder on the rest of us to keep up on the drama read...

Do you guys think we have a thread cap or something? We aren't charging you by the thread. We don't have data caps here. Feel free to post away. The only time we merge threads is if there were multiple threads breaking the news about Calabro.

Nothing wrong with being the over achieving little brother to the spoiled brat, condescending bigger brother whose sports teams drastically underachieve.

Sounds to me like people understand the hatred and the reason, but think it's immature. I don't think other inter-city rivalries' existence affect that perception.

Those aftershocks apparently will take a while to disperse. Thank goodness the draft and free agency will be here soon.

I never said there needs to be a cap. I guess im saying the immature hatred is flooding the threads making it annoying for some of us who have, are ready to move on.
Everyone knows how everyone feels here so why do certain people keep beating a dead horse. It wont change anything...

Apparently...

Counldnt come soon enough. We had just turned the corner to positivism as a majority, based on our playoff performance. Now we are right back in the rutt of negative crap. I understand the initial shock and emotions, but I guess I think bigger of us in the long run. I guess I assume more of us are mature enough to get over it/ See the big picture/ not dwell on the past stuff.
Why am I wrong so often on here? LOL.

I'm definitely on the "fuck the Seahawks" bandwagon!

And those people either weren't born here, or they have no Portland pride

I call bullshit. Why does it have to be either or for everyone? Why cant some of us enjoy both places?
