Delta also publicly supports the Braves and Mets who are division rivals, not just teams meeting in a one-off playoff game.
To be sure, Delta tweeted pro-Seahawks the day before. So it took them a full 30 hours (and a second Seahawks tweet) before they got around the posting about the Vikings.

But I generally agree it's a tempest in a teapot. Still funny though.
