Where does Jamal Crawford's Seahawks connection come from?
The Seahawks tie comes from a tweet. Seahawks.com reported on September 26, 2016 that Jamal Crawford thanked the team after he raised the flag at a game, writing "Can't thank the @Seahawks enough! Being from Seattle, raising the flag was one of those moments I'll never forget. #12thMan#206fam#GoHawks!!" The words are his own, but the label here is Reported: the claim that he is a Seahawks fan rests on how the outlet presented that post, not on a separate interview in which he named the team as his favorite.
It also lines up with where he comes from. Crawford was born in Seattle on March 20, 1980, and played high school ball at Rainier Beach in the city. His playing career took him elsewhere, with stops from Chicago to Brooklyn between 2000 and 2020, but the post itself ties the moment to being from Seattle.
What about the Seattle Mariners?
The Mariners link is weaker. MLB.com, on April 16, 2021, described "how he is a Mariners fan." That is the outlet's wording, not Crawford speaking, so it stands as a background tie to the team rather than a fandom he has stated himself. His Seattle birthplace is the only context available for it.
