Sure, the real issue dogging Republican vice presidential candidate was that she supported the Bridge to Nowhere in Alaska until it became politically expedient not to do so. But I don’t give a cantilevered fuck about a bridge. I’m pissed off that she, like ticket mate John McCain, has tried to curry favor with Pennsylvania voters by fudging some small useless facts about the Steelers. Hey, Yinzers aren’t always the brightest bunch but they’re not automatically going to cast their vote for you because you pay some minor lip service to their favorite football team. Just ask this guy.

Last week, I mentioned how she told a columnist at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that she adopted the Steelers as her team in the ’70s, y’know, right in the height of their dynasty. Now Sports Northwest reports she joined a Seahawks fan club “two or three years ago”. No doubt right in the midst of their journey to NFL runnerupdom!

I don’t know how they do things in Alaska, but here in lower 48, we don’t truck no dual citizenship in our sports, lady. You pick a fucking team and you stick with it. Hate on Obama all you want – and I’m sure many of you do – but at least he’s not using sports as a means of cozying up to voters in battleground states.

Tip of the referee’s cap – That no-account sad sack Seahawks fan, Ufford.
