I have a problem with Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin and it has nothing to do with her political views.* Perhaps you saw the three second clip of Palin jogging in a Donovan McNabb Philadelphia Eagles jersey. (If not, the video is below at the 3:11 mark and a picture is on the right.) First of all, besides actual football players, who actually jogs wearing a football jersey? Wouldn’t a T-shirt or Under Armor shirt be more comfortable?
Let’s assume that because Pain is wearing a McNabb jersey in the video, she has some type of affinity for the Eagles. Does she only support the Eagles? Well, when I wrote last month that Joe Biden is a Steelers fan, Captain Easychord shared a July 2007 Pittsburgh Tribune-Review article which showed that Palin is also a Steelers fan. So is she a Steelers fan, an Eagles fan, or both? This is where things get even more complex. Sarah Palin is also a member of the official Seattle Seahawks official fan club, the Seahawkers.** Super Bowl XL must have been tough for her since two of her favorite teams were playing against each other.
So my question is this: what football team does Sarah Palin support? Get Charlie Gibson or Katie Couric on this immediately. I think this should be part of Thursday’s Vice Presidential debate. Palin must come clean on her favorite NFL team. Having two or three favorite teams is unacceptable and certainly not something I or most if not all Americans want to see in a potential President or Vice President.

Sean, funny you should ask about running in something more comfortable. There is a guy on my street that runs every morning in a pair of Umbros and this, a button down dress shirt! How could that possibly be comfortable. Not to mention it looks like the same shirt, so either he washes it daily or it can't smell too good!
Kim likes to drive past and yell Umbros when he's out of ear shot!
lacochran - If you write that something is a word, it must be a word!
Paul - A button down dress shirt? That makes no sense at all. Oh, I can definitely see Kim yelling at the guy!
You're right on point, Sean. I feel that this kind of information is vital to swaying my vote. Well, actually, I'm not voting for McCain anyhow, but at least have your shit together...am I wrong?
Side question, raised due to the name of the Seattle Seahawk fan club - if you're from Pittsburgh, 'hawker' is another term for a 'loogy'. Is this term used outside Pittsburgh as well? A restaurant opened up here in Ann Arbor called Hawkers Deli. No one would EVER open up a restaurant with that name in Pittsburgh.
Hawkers Deli? Ugh. Only if you want some greasy biker cook hawking a loogie into your chili. Grotesque. What an awful name for a restaurant.
she doesnt care about the NFL she is a hockey mom
well, it almost certainly has something to do with that ticket shamelessly trying to get PA voters. just like Barack rooting shamelessly against my dodgers and supporting the Phillies.
A better question would be more general - does it matter what sports teams politicians support? Or, if they did say they supported a team would we even believe them? If they're campaigning in Pennsylvania they'll support the Steelers, if they're in Iowa they're for... uhh whoever plays in Iowa!
