"It's still fun to come to games, and it's still fun to be in the Seattle crowd"
About this Quote
The repetition does the work. “Still fun” twice is a rhetorical bracing technique, the verbal equivalent of patting the stadium rail before you step into your seat. It reassures the listener that whatever has shifted - a losing season, aging legs, a new roster, a new era - the core experience remains intact. He’s not selling wins. He’s selling the ritual: showing up, hearing the noise, being part of something bigger than the scoreboard.
Then there’s the specificity of “the Seattle crowd.” Largent isn’t praising generic fandom; he’s affirming a particular civic identity, one that Seahawks supporters have long worn as a badge: loud, loyal, weatherproof, occasionally feral. The subtext is reciprocal. The crowd makes the games fun; the player’s presence validates the crowd’s investment. It’s a compact social contract: you keep coming, we’ll keep making it worth it.
In context, this kind of quote functions as ballast. It nudges a fanbase away from transaction thinking (tickets for victories) toward belonging (tickets for community), which is how franchises survive the years when the standings don’t cooperate.
