When I was a little kid I came to the conclusion that as a dedicated sports fan you had be loyal to the teams closet to you geographically unless you moved somewhere else after already being a fan of different teams. So as of that day I became a fan of the Seattle Mariners, the Seattle Sonics, the Seattle Seahawks, and the Gonzaga Bulldogs. The latter was hard for me as my favorite college basketball player was Washington State star Isaac Fontaine, but I had made my mind up and I stuck with it. It was hard at first being rooting for the Zags; they weren’t very good for the first couple years. My dad tried to explain to me that I could like any team I wanted no matter of geography, but I wouldn’t have any of it, I was stubborn.
