Over the past year I’ve written three Take 2 essays for The Seattle Times as “Bandwagon Mama.” Bandwagon because I started out as a fair-weather fan who only started paying attention to the Seahawks when they started winning, and mama because I have three terrific kids.
After the loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, though, I’m feeling like a mama, and that’s it.
When I watch the Seahawks, I’m not just in 12th fan mode, but in mom mode, in much the same way I used to watch my own kids at their soccer games.
