Delta Tweet Boosting Seahawks Earns Vikings Fans' Ire
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- It's a tempest in a tweet-pot. Minnesota Vikings fans took umbrage at a Twitter post Wednesday from Delta Air Lines that appeared to be favoring the Seattle Seahawks in next Sunday's playoff game.
The airline, which has hubs in both the Twin Cities and Seattle, was taken to task by many for showing apparent favoritism in the impending showdown, including locally-based Sun Country Airlines.

Delta Air Lines responded with another tweet that confirmed they were indeed also rooting for the Vikings as well.
Delta is the official airline for both teams, so it's possible the company is hoping for a flat-footed tie?
