Is my hatred for the Seahawks and their fans irrational?

No it isn't, it's mine. You do it and your warning level will similarly escalate.

Understood, I was just responding in kind without using profanity, just responding with illicit implication.

I have always known the Niners to be a noble foe for the Packers, an organisation with a rich history and some almost mythical legends. Joe Montana is a hero for me, the personification of cool. I can also respect the work done in pulling the team out of the wilderness, which has occurred in the past three or so years.

Now, I am not against the noveau riche, the possibility of parity in the NFL these days makes it all the better, and lord knows there are a lot of teams and fanbases that are cursed by the gods (i'm looking at YOU, Minnesota/Cleveland), and deserve better.

So why is it, that I can't stand the Seahawks and the MAJORITY of their fanbase?

I don't really care about the failmary, stranger things have and will happen. I can't fault the footlocker zebra's, I blame Goodell.

Maybe it was the reaction of that trannyfaced rat, Pete Carroll, or Richard SherDouche's weekly' transgressions. I think though, most of all, it's the slapdick fanbase who have but a nominal understanding of the game flapping their gums about being the best team ever of ever in ever.

Just what is it that makes Seattle and their ridiculous, pimple-minded fans so hard to tolerate?

I mean, let's say the Packers navigate the niners, and get to Seattle pending other results. Why do I want Mason Crosby to kick a last second field goal from 63 yards in a 4th quarter comeback after being down by 28 as opposed to a blowout?

I figured, with y'all experiences in dealing with the 'hawks and their fans, you could enlighten me more

Quite frankly, there's no rationality in any sports fandom - your hatred, your jubilation at your own team. Whatever, it's all merely a common distraction we as fans share - and an arbitrary assignment of support or vilification based on birthright or some other factor including simply, one's decision. It's certainly a decision you are entitled to.

If you choose to hate people from a city where the fans are particularly excited during a winning year simply because they don't often have a sports team to be excited about, then it's simply that - your choice. But I would argue it's more telling of your annoyance about your perception of your own teams likelihood of success than anything else. When you're down on your luck as a franchise, success becomes a source of envy. Luckily, it's very cyclical, so everyone has their chance - eventually. As it happens, this year is probably Seattle's year. If you can't handle that, well....that's your problem then isn't it?

You've come to the right place.

This week, we are enemies, but afterwards, allow us to oblige you to stick around. lol

their uniform is ugly and so is skittles

Looks like he might need to work a little harder to keep that chip on his shoulder ;-)

So, when you have a 49er fan's dick in your mouth, do you talk this much?

I was going to post about how 90% of their internet fan base is militantly caustic....but I think this post made it go without saying.

They have been caught cheating a lot and their coach is a known sleeze ball. And their best players acts like a diva WR with a big mouth.

There really isn't anything to like about them except Wilson. Everyone else is either a cheater, an ex convict or some other shady character.

You're in good company here.

getting into your opponents heads is actually a very good tactic across all sports. If you're playing angry, you tend to make mistakes.

He's even more of a d******d outside of football. Lots of scummy people do charity. Its mostly to help them feel better about being such a s**t person in real life.

LOL, you are a very likeable packer fan. By the way, you are not the only one. Alot of fans all over the NFL hate the seahawks. Why? Because of the way they act.

I think he does it for himself. He loves attention. Here's another example of how he spends his free time. Asking.... no..... practically begging people to acknowledge him. I imagine he had a very insecure childhood.

Seahawks isn't the only team that has been "successful" this year. But why the hatred for only them? By fans from all across the country?

I honestly think it's because of the way the players and fans act. For example, before last season's blowout loss to Seattle on the road, I didn't even have any opinion about seahawk fans. But after that win for them, their fans have gone out of their way to be as brash, rude, and cocky as possible all year long. From trolling other team's forums, to pulling off stunts to disrespect other teams (brick buying, flying banners, etc...).

Yet, you insinuate it's "jealousy" from other fans? Why would they be jealous? Packers have a tradition of winning. Why would they be jealous of you guys?

Weird now that i think bout it I hate the seacawk players but never had hate for their fans, then again i havent met one
