Alaska Airlines Giving Priority to Passengers Wearing Russell Wilson Jerseys

Russell Wilson jerseys are already selling like funnel cakes, and a new promotion by Alaska Airlines could kick sales into overdrive. According to John Ferensen of Next Impulse Sports, the Seattle-based air carrier is offering priority boarding for passengers flying out of Seattle who are wearing Wilson's No. 3 jersey. The promotion comes as part of Wilson's new gig as official spokesman for the airline. The Seahawks quarterback recently inked a partnership deal with the air carrier, according to Nick Eaton of the Seattle Post Intelligencer, and will be assuming a role as the new face of the airline.

I don't agree with this promotion whatsoever. The Seahawks are 12-2 and Russell Wilson is still yet to lose a game while playing at home. Everything is going their way and they're practically guaranteed to make it to MetLife stadium for the Superbowl since with another home win against Arizona this weekend they'll have home field advantage all post season. 

The promotion that needs to happen is Jets and Giants fans should get free flights out of NYC on the weekend of the Superbowl if they wear their jersey to the airport. Public humiliation for free travel, Jets and Giants fans will be all over since they're still apparently comfortable enough going to games just to yell at Rex Ryan. Get them out New York before they burn the stadium down on February 2nd.
