Steelers fan’s burger comes with extra seasoning

Grudges are forever. A fast-food cook in Port Orchard has been accused of spitting on a man’s hamburger because of lingering resentment over the 2006 Super Bowl. The cook, a Seahawks fan, apparently argued with the customer, who was wearing Pittsburgh Steelers attire.
