Because Russell Wilson plays for the NFL team, the Seattle Seahawks, there is a good chance the baseball team of the Seattle Mariners are his favorite team. It's good publicity to root for another sports franchise that plays in the same city. There are variations of course. However, MLB has figured out that in a city with two baseball teams, such as the New York Yankees and the New York Mets, they have cleverly made sure that each team plays in a different league. This could have been a "fan" problem when back in the day, New York City had three teams. The Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants in the National League, and the Yankees in the American League.
