So this is how it's going to be, Delta?
Delta, official airline of the Vikings and Seahawks, tweets support of Seattle
The Atlanta-based airline has hubs in both Minneapolis-St. Paul and Seattle.
The Atlanta-based airline has hubs in both Minneapolis-St. Paul and Seattle. On Wednesday, whoever is running the Twitter account for Delta put out a tweet celebrating the fan group of the Seahawks, ending the tweet with #GoHawks.
While it's true that Delta is the official airline of the Seahawks (and that Seattle fans, by and large, will be the ones who have to travel for Sunday's game in Minnesota), it is also the official airline of the Vikings. In fact, Delta just extended its partnership with the Vikings last month and will have a swank new space inside U.S. Bank Stadium.
Vikings fans, especially the most indignant ones, will be eagerly awaiting the even-out tweet in support of the purple.
Sun Country jumped in later with a related tweet: "We just want to say … Skol Vikings! #HometownTeam."
Widely known that Minnesota sports fans are among the most suffering in the nation, this holiday season has the chance to become special, given the recent success of the Vikings, Wolves, Lynx and Wild.
