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

[KingSpeed]

Also, curious, does anyone know previous Sonics fans who root for the Thunder?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I'd cry for weeks and I'd have to come to a very hard decision; I don't know how I would decide, but my gut reaction is no... though I'm sure I would shamefully watch for a little while longer.

NBA would be dead to me altogether. Actually it already is. Blazers are the only thing I love about it anymore.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Prolly not.

 

[Haakzilla]

No.

 

[THE HCP]

FUCK NO!

 

[magnifier661]

Nope. Fuck that shit! Have them get their own team. Look at how the Seattle Sonics fans feel about the OKC Thunder. They don't root for them at all.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Yeah, at least until we had a team in portland again

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

I know a lot of people in seattle that were die hard sonic fans. They still follow okc but they claim to not have a specific team they root for

 

[Further]

No, especially Seattle, it's so close and there is already a little brother/big brother complex. If the Blazers were moved to Portland Maine, or some distant place, I might still semi-root for them. Most likely, I would just stop watching NBA altogether.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Um.

Portland Seahawks.

 

[THE HCP]

I know a lot of people in seattle that were die hard sonic fans.

All my peeps in Seattle that were lifelong Sonics fans........ the team is dead to them! They could care less!

 

[julius]

Not only no, but fucking fuck no. The team would be dead, the NBA would be dead and I'd hope every team in the league goes belly up and there would be a huge scandal tearing the league to it's core.

 

[mobes23]

I live in Seattle and don't know a single Sonics fan that likes the Thunder. Most of them actually pretty much hate the team, only a few are even ambivalent. That said, a lot of them still like individual players who were here when the team was in Seattle.

 

[KingSpeed]

Someone fix my spelling of Seattle

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

FUCK NO!

What would you do about your tattoo?

For me, it would depend on how they left. If we were still drawing 20k for a team nor expected to make the playoffs and made an attempt to build a stadium, I would be bitter.

 

[THE HCP]

Someone fix my spelling of Seattle

Learn to spell...... then post!

 

[THE HCP]

What would you do about your tattoo?

Ah shit!

 

[mook]

Wouldn't bother me. I live in Boise, and grew up a Jazz fan. What do I care where they decide to hang their Larry Steele jersey or their 2000 Northwest Division banner.



So yeah, I'll just go over thataway -> and shut my whore mouth.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Not in the slightest. In fact I would boo them every chance I got

 

[THE HCP]

Not in the slightest. In fact I would boo them every chance I got

MM...... did you grow up in Portland?

 

[blue9]

Not in the slightest. In fact I would boo them every chance I got

That's how I feel about it.

 

[julius]

MM...... did you grow up in Portland?

you realize he said he wouldn't cheer for them and would boo them, right?

 

[Nikolokolus]

If they become the Sonics then I'm officially out. "Loyalty" has to work both ways.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Um.

Portland Seahawks.

If the Seahawks moved to Portland I might start paying attention. As it is, I don't because they are not in my town.

 

[Wheels]

Also eff everything about that stupid ass town up north.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Also eff everything about that stupid ass town up north.

Hey now! Ed O and I take offense to that...

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Fuck no and I'd never watch the NBA again

 

[Wheels]

Hey now! Ed O and I take offense to that...

sorry but the heart hates, what the heart hates

 

[Mediocre Man]

MM...... did you grow up in Portland?

Ya. Lived there 41 years. Then to Houston
