The Legion of Boom: Seahawks

            NFL, as known as The National Football League, is a professional American football league formed in 1920. It is divided into two conference, NFC and AFC, consisting of 32 teams. It is one of the four major professional sports league in the North America, and also the highest professional level of American football in the world. NFL has 17 weeks of regular season; each team will have to play 16 games. The conclusion of the regular season will advance six teams from each conference to playoff, which is also call the Super Bowl. In game, two teams can send 11 people to the field. Every team  has a defense team and offense team.

            The Seattle Seahawks is one of the teams in NFL as a member of the league’s NFC West division based in Seattle. They joined the NFL in 1976, and have nine division titles, three conference championships, and one Super Bowl championship. Their current head coach is Pete Carroll, and there are about sixty people in the team. Some of the star players in Seahawks are Doug Baldwin, Earl Thomas, Michael Bennett, Kam Chancellor, Richard Sherman, and Russell Wilson. The logo of the team is a head of a sea hawk in the color of college navy, action green and wolf grey. The home field of Seahawks is in Century Link Field.

            Almost all Seattle people are crazy about Seahawks. You could often hear people yelling “Seahawks” and cheering for them with jerseys on the road. Obviously, Super Ball is a big event in Seattle, if Seahawks win the play off. Two years ago, I went to a domestic friend’s home to support Seahawks for the championship game of Super Bowl. Almost every single person in Seattle was watching the game either in the field or live on TV. Everyone got crazy when they won the championship, and that is the first time I have chance to get a sense of the relationship between local sports team and people.
