    I don't call myself a Seahawks fan. I used to be, but I abandoned them through the Behring/Flores and the Dennis Erickson shitshow years. Now, I try to catch their games whenever I can and enjoy their style of play... of course, I like to see them win.

    With that said, I fucking hate the whole "12s" bullshit. I hate how the local media talks about the 12s and sends out reporters to cover what the 12s are doing at their tailgates, at the airport, during away games, etc.

    I don't think any posters here hate the Seahawks. We just hate the dipshits who decorate themselves, and their houses, pets, cars, etc. with 32 pieces of Seahawks flair.

    Eh. Kinda hate em.

    I can't tell if posters on this thread hate the Seahawks, the Seahawk fans, or both. I'm a diehard Seahawk fan but I find the whole 12th man thing fucking stupid as well. Anyone I see wearing a 12th man "fan" jersey I assume is an idiot bandwagon fan who doesn't even know who Walter Jones Steve Largent or Matt Hasselbeck Jim Zorn is.

    The old "12th Man" from the Kingdome daze was fine. Now, people that get way into actually being a 12 are the problem. Being part of the 12th man is not the same as being a dopey, narcissistic 12.

    I love how the 49ers are the hated rival now. Really? What were they in September of 2011? Did you hate Alex Smith then? I doubt it. I'll admit Harbaugh is really annoying but he will be in Ann Arbor soon. The rivals were the Raiders and Broncos. I still don't like them.

    The 30th anniversary of retiring #12 is coming up this week. We lost the game, costing us the division title, but that also meant we got to host the WC the next week, and the 1984 Wild Card game against the Raiders was and still is the loudest sporting event I have ever attended.

    I actually do not have a problem with the 12s. Maybe it is because I am not on facebook. I just say let them have their fun. I spent too many of my youthful baseball fan days reading box scores, and paying less attention to hits and runs, and more attention to the attendance, and the average attendance figure needed to meet to avoid Argyros triggering the escape clause. If having annoying bandwagon fans is the cost of having the team I have rooted for since I was a kid being World Champions, then I will take it.

    Cheering for Super Bowl Champion and dealing with annoying bandwagonners >>>

    Cheering for a baseball team that had no other fans and was a constant threat to move

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Not cheering for a basketball team because they are in Oklahoma.
