Pat McAfee on ESPN takes a straight shot at the 12th Man myth that has long tried to fuel the Seattle Seahawks. Check it out on youtube below:
"The fan base isn't even real anymore."

MEDIA MAVEN - My goal is to publish media news (often with a critical eye) in the Pacific Northwest, covering Seattle, Spokane, Portland, Tri-Cities/Yakima and even a litte beyond. At times, I might even venture into the sports community. You can also see posts on @tvmavenseattle.bsky.social. I am a retired, longtime broadcast journalist and manager in multiple markets, writing prof at UW and PLU in WA state, author of Season of the 76ers, Kent St. and American U alum, PIttsburgh native.

ReplyDeleteI'm not a McAfee fan! He does, probably reach a certain type of sports fan that probably has generally been ignored.
ReplyDeleteHis opinion is worthless. Pay no attention to him, he is just another carnival barker. (Albeit one who ruined the venerable College Gameday franchise.) And I write this as an Eagles fan who otherwise has no use for the Seahawks.
ReplyDeleteNot my cup of tea, figuratively, but he doesn't talk down to the viewers, so I'm pretty sure, the rah rah fan would love him.
