Tony Gonzalez saves a life & ingnites debate

When Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez went to dinner last Thursday night, the last thing he expected to do was to brush up on his Heimlich maneuver skills.
Ken Hunter, a life long San Diego Chargers fan was also having dinner at the same restaurant. At some point during the meal Hunter found himself choking. While everyone watched in disbelief as Hunter struggled to breath Gonzalez took the initiative and probably saved the fan of his rival:
"Tony saved my life. There's no doubt," said Ken Hunter, the manager of a shipping company. Gonzo was at dinner with his wife in Huntington Beach Thursday and noticed Hunter choking on a piece of meat. Gonzalez sprang into action and "after just a few seconds, the piece of meat popped out," Hunter confirmed. "It's a good thing Tony is so tall because I had stood up -- I think."
This is a great story for a league that has certainly had it's share of blemishes from the Vick saga to the Adam Jones debacle, the NFL needs some good news to balance things out. The most alarming thing that happened in all of this is that the lifelong Chargers fan Hunter, has said that he is now a Kansas City Chiefs fan. I can understand why. I mean after all if it weren't for Gonzalez, Hunter may not have been watching any football at all next season.
This leads to my question for you guys. If someone from your favorite team's rival saved your life, would you in turn root for that team? I guess that it would be hard for anyone to honestly answer this question until you have actually felt your life slipping away and then wake up hearing that Earl Clark saved your life.
