SEATTLE (AP) — As shocking as it was, the Seattle Seahawks’ last-minute loss to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl Sunday was probably not even the worst loss in the city’s sports history.
Seattle did lose an entire NBA franchise, after all, when the SuperSonics up and moved to Oklahoma City. At least the Seahawks will be playing again next season.
But the grief, anger and bewilderment felt by many Seahawks fans nevertheless shows only mild signs of abating, even days later. Many say they’re certain the decision to pass from the 1-yard line — instead of handing off to bruising running back Marshawn Lynch — will haunt the Northwest the way previous sporting gaffes defined other cities.
Norb Caoili, a 45-year-old season-ticket holder, says he’ll be 90 and “still thinking about this game.”
