Well Seattle fans, the east coast bias returns this weekend with the Seattle Seahawks vs. Los Angeles Rams game receiving far less TV spotlight than it deserves. This time, even the national media is recognizing the bias. Despite the game being one of the most hyped games this season (largely due to the 7-2 records and pure dominance by both teams), it is not being given the treatment as the biggest game, even of this weekend.
Perhaps these scheduling decisions are not an example of east coast bias. This author may just be looking for an indirect way to complain about Cal Raleigh no-MVP decision last night. Regardless, even this scheduling mess-up is being noticed nationally. Perhaps that won’t be a bad thing either. If the Seahawks lose, the loss may not be as center of mind for most of the country. If the Seahawks win, then they could potentially still be seen more as underdogs, rather than if they won in front of a primetime audience, or the majority of the country.
Regardless, time will tell how this Seahawks team will do. Seahawks fans alike will take a victory over the Rams, even if the game was played in the middle of the night (kind of like that Week 7 Houston Texans game).
