Is Seattle a good sports city without the NBA and NHL
What NBA team do people in Seattle support?
What NHL team do they support?

Also, does it rain a lot in Seattle?

Seattle lacks the African-American population required to form a start-up NBA team. I know that may sound a bit on the racially risque' side, but it's a truth of sports.

That's absolutely ridiculous. Besides the fact that Seattle supported an NBA team for 41 seasons, you don't just start up an NBA team. And what about Jason Terry? Brandon Roy? Aaron Brooks? Jamal Crawford? Terrence Williams? Rodney Stuckey? Nate Robinson? Martell Webster? Marvin Williams? What you said isn't racially risque', it's just ignorant.

I don't see what race has to do with a certain sport but ok.

DNA studies have shown that African American genes carry the code to produce more
Type-A (fast twitch) muscle fiber, particularly in the quad and calve region. Nothing wrong with that, I for one am quite enertained by ridiculous physical phenoms like Lebron and Kobe fly through the air and in general, behave like superhumans on the basketball court.

If you've ever played a high school sport, watched your game film, and then tuned in to a pro NFL, MLB, or NBA game, you know what I mean by superhuman. Not just the African Americans, but anyone at that level in general.

Yeah and their coaches are usually all white business men. I don't see why only African Americans have to be interested in a NBA team when whites and other races have just as much of an investment at hand.

Those players are on all sorts of diets and restrictions, like anything else it has to do with who wants it more. There are usually more white guys in college basketball though.
