@SportsGoblin as a nor’westerner my sports takes default to “all the seattle teams suck except the sonics; man, they should bring back the sonics”
@SportsGoblin i don’t even remember the sonics
@Lady Do we still have our WNBA team?
@SportsGoblin yeah the Storm; they play in uhh… “Angel of the Winds Arena”
@Lady I think they're supposed to be p good
Angel of the Winds is right near me and I'm p sure where the Kraken had their pre-season, but I think the Storm are gonna move down to Climate Pledge next season since it's open now
@SportsGoblin yeah i think that’s right, which is why bringing back the Sonics might actually be a possibility now too
@Lady That would be cool if they could manage it
@SportsGoblin apparently the NBA is looking at expansion due to reduced revenue because of COVID and Climate Pledge Arena was specifically built with their requirements in mind sooooo
couuullddd happpennnn
@Lady 👀
@SportsGoblin i’ll always be an M’s fan and i’ll always be a Sonics fan (if there ever is a Sonics) but tbh the Hawks are on thin fuckin’ ice (don’t tell anybody)
@SportsGoblin this season i’m rooting for the Hawks on the Hawks games but more broadly i’m rooting for the Rams
i like their look a lot better and they’re still a west coast team
@Lady Also they have the best helmets in the league no question
@SportsGoblin i’m in the middle of applying to a (remote) job right now in Santa Barbara, and it’s still very much up in the air whether i will even get the job much less whether i will ever move down there, but there is a possible future in which in a few years i am living in southern california and a rams fan
which would be wild
@Lady I can accept you rooting for the Rams, I'm lowkey pulling for them since they got Stafford and are actually able to support him as a team compared to how the Lions treated him for 10 years
