I'm not into sports at all, and think it is insane how much people spend on Seahawks merchandise, but don't begrudge them, or the positive effect on the local economy.

May as well kvetch about every new restaurant opening, lord knows we have more than enough, but really not a thorn in my side, even though I can't afford a sit down restaurant meal most of the time. Doesn't mean I'm going to sneer at patrons of whatever doesn't float my boat.
