Small market teams are bad for leagues.

Disregarding the game, I was curious. I don't think Seattle qualifies as
a "small market" anymore. In metro-area population, it ranks 13
nationally.


I don't care enough to verify my opinion with facts, but I think the
difference is in small market and small market for the NFL. I'd think
as far as NLF paraphernalia goes, Steelers crap outsells Seahawks crap
10 to 1. The average Neanderthal, Joe Six-pack sports fan relates
much more to a gritty, dirty play team like the Steelers. What self
respecting redneck would support a bunch of sweater wearing, latté
sipping, book reading, free thinkers like them Seattle folks, whoever
their namby pamby team is. Hey Bubba, you really gonna wear that
Seahogs jersey to the NASCAR club? snicker.

I think those better known folks in this group who took sides in the
contest pretty well prove my point.
