While every NFL fan base believes that their team is underrated and overlooked, it’s probably more true in the case of the Seattle Seahawks than any other. Geographically isolated in the Pacific Northwest, the franchise has often been ignored and dismissed by the national (east coast) media and that includes the folks that vote on who gets into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and who doesn’t.
Need proof that there’s a real bias against Seattle and its players? Look no further than Seahawks legend and former league MVP Shaun Alexander, who is not in the Hall of Fame despite having a very strong resume. Here’s Alexander talking with Kay Adams about why he thinks he’s not in Canton.
