Maybe even an opportunity to steal another one of Seattle's teams such as the legendary Seattle Seduction. I think that have the Oklahoma City Oooh Ooooh Oooohs play the Tampa Temptation during the Super Bowl halftime would be great publicity for OKC as a cool and hip place for young people. Guys who are recent college grads would be attracted by that a hell of a lot more than family values, fast food joints, and dirt muddin or whatever wholesome Mick-approved fun we're supposed to get around here.
If I did have a chauvinist reason to support the LFL, what gives? You can play that game with anything. You can be condescending toward someone for any reason. I am Catholic, but say someone wished they had a Catholic church near their house (they can be far and few between on the far southside) and then someone could ask me why I wanted a Catholic church just so they could bash that reason and religion as a whole. You could do the same thing for shopping, because people need to start being more frugal and the concept of frivolous shopping bothers some people around here. But is that reason to expressly avoid getting a Saks? Of course not. That would be a boon to your city. A catholic church would be a boon. And the LFL would be a boon. If we're truly a big league city then we need amenities and events for people of all types of tastes and interests. Just because you don't approve of something doesn't mean that you can prevent someone else from having it. You might not want the LFL but we all want the publicity, profile, and the interest that the LFL could give our city. Chances are we want those young college-educated guys too.
