Talk about unsportsmanlike conduct.

A Washington state lawmaker took to Twitter on Sunday following a 17-10 loss by his beloved Seattle Seahawks to the Arizona Cardinals, ending Seattle’s 14-game home winning streak.

“Losing a football game sucks,” Democratic Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon wrote in a now-deleted message. “Losing to a desert racist wasteland sucks a lot.”

Fitzgibbon, who represents West Seattle, Burien, Vashon Island and White Center, removed the message a short time later and said he “shouldn’t have conflated” the two topics.

Sore loser.  :mental: :loser:

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Washington state lawmaker sorry for calling Arizona 'racist wasteland'

A Washington state lawmaker has apologized for calling Arizona a "racist wasteland" on Twitter -- in a moment of anger following a 17-10 loss by his beloved Seattle Seahawks to the Arizona Cardinals.

"Sometime I mix sports and politics too much in my own brain, and I made a point not very delicately," he said, according to KING5 News. "That was not a kind thing to say, and I'm sorry for what I said. It wasn't fair to most people in Arizona."
