Yeah it's called a professional sport. It's not like a Washington sport, they have different teams and other cities with players from around the world that play in it. It's called Major League baseball. There's also a league for basketball, and there's one for football, and there's one for hockey, and there's one for soccer. In other countries they call soccer, football. and still even in other countries they have players on teams that aren't from the country that they're playing in. They're sports people from around the world play them all.

Are you really that dense, or do you just hate everything?

So you agree this post has nothing to do with Washington because the team does not represent Washington specifically. Glad we could get that settled.

The mental gymnastics you people go through to defend your sportsball, good lord.

If I invite my friend over from Ukraine to play hacky sack, does that make it relevant to Washington, too?

Oh no! I disagree, because the sports team were referring to plays in the city of Seattle which is in the state of Washington. So this is 100% a post about the state of Washington. Are you implying that only US citizens and citizens of Washington State should be allowed to work for an employer of a particular state? Baseball players are workers too, and they represent the city of Seattle and the state of Washington.

Just because you don't like sportsballs doesn't mean you're right.

What difference does it make that they practice in Seattle? They spend just as much time in other places. It doesn't mean it's relevant.

You're worshiping either a logo of the team or the owner of the team. Next year it won't even be the same team, but it will still somehow be just as relevant despite the fact that maybe two players will be from here.

Look up Odysseus' Ship and get back to me. Even Adam Ruins Everything agrees with me on this. And they cite their sources.
