Ugh, why does the media even pick up this story? That cretin should be collectively ignored.

A poster known as "Mason" on a seahawks board. No, couldn't be.

It's too bad that comedian can't make it to the game next week.

The only thing worse than some idiot initially starting this whole thing was other people feeling the need to call out his stupidity.
Lots of tools out there. Non-news.

There were some Redskins fans who were saying after attending the Seahawks playoff game in Seattle this past January that they'd been on the receiving end of some pretty horrible verbal barbs relating to Sean Taylor. I don't know that it's related to this story as every fan base has its share of walking sphincters, but that did come to mind when I read this.

Even Eagles fan don't bring up 9/11.

I was in Hawaii when some quasi-9-11 joke was made by the surf instructors during our surfing lesson. It was sort of awkward.

Unfortunately this is true. I am a life long Seahawk fan, and while I support free speech, I also support common sense. I go to a road game every year, and have encountered morons at every single venue. These type of people do no represent Seahawks' fans (or Seattle in general), and it is unfair to the decent people that do support the 'hawks to lump them all together. Part of the problem is that Seattle has had a lot of bandwagon fans over the last 5-6 years, and this is where most of the problems like the one you stated above come from. Mason, on the other hand has actually been around in the Seahawk's community, and he is one of the sorriest sacks to ever embrace the blue and green. I am not going to apologize for him, because like I said he doesn't represent the Seahawk's fanbase, but please understand this isn't the way 99% of Seahawk's fans feel or think.

Yeah he's a troll even on his on board, as I recall from my days as a Shaun Alexander owner. Hopefully they permaban his sorry ###.

Trust the rest of us, that moron is in the 1/100 of 1% of fans who take things way too far and think things like that are funny. I have no problem with stupid things like this coming out as it reflects solely on the person who said it and it stands on its own (lack of) merit.

I was wondering how long it would be before some loser would cross the street to take a gratuitous jab at Eagles' fans. Congrats buddy.

It's well earned, and don't pretend either that it's not, nor that a lot of Eagles fans don't revel in that. Congrats yourself.

They?Sounds like the story from the OP is about one #######. Every team has them. Seattle is no different. Neither are the Bills. Are you really going to try to make the case that the fan base of one team is somehow "better" than another?

Footballguy
Yeah ok, keep telling yourself that loser. Why don't you ask some Saints fans how they were treated at their "home game" following Katrina. There isn't a fanbase in the NFL that is without a few despicable crumbs that shames the entire lot.

Or that dirtbag Chicago fan months later with that oh-so-funny "Finishing What Katrina Started" sign.Or the drunken boor Cub fans who showed up in Milwaukee two weeks ago and lustily booed the Houston Astros without any acknowledgment whatsoever of why the Astros were forced to play "home games" ninety miles from Chicago. Chicago can eat ####.

too soon? It was cheap, and not really funny, but people need to get thicker skins.
This is no different than challenger jokes, dead baby jokes, holocaust jokes, hiroshima jokes.
Hell Greg Gearldo could have said any oft hese on a comedy central roast and no on would give a ####.
yawn, let's talk about something more important though.

In those circumstances? Absofreakinlutely. The Astros weren't just baseball players that day, they were individuals whose lives had been seriously disrupted by a major hurricane. They had to get up in the middle of the night, pack their crap, leave their families at home to deal with the mess, and drive through hurricane conditions to make it to the only flight out of a closed major airport. If the roles had been reversed, there is no doubt in my mind that we Astros fans would've stood and applauded the Cubs players as they took the field, or at least the organization would've made an announcement recognizing what they'd gone through to get to the game and entertain that crowd. I watched both games and was totally disgusted by the utter lack of class shown by Cubs fans towards the Houston players. I'm not saying they were supposed to cheer, but their response was so detached from what was happening on the Texas Gulf Coast that I will forever loathe Cubs fans like no other fan base. The pending playoff collapse is going to be especially enjoyable to watch.Lobary said:Now booing a rival team is crossing the line? Come on Buddy...

Seeking clarification
Is the hate and discontent about this because
1. The jokes were not funny
2. 9-11 is off limits
3. Other

First of all, how can you even say this? And if a couple Stros fans do boo, that makes the whole fanbase a bunch of scumbags? Sports are what they are. Its a game.In those circumstances?

I can say it because I know Texans and I know Astros fans. I am one. I've been to countless Astros games. It's a cultural thing across all sports and organizations--Texas sports fans are very tame. Texans are generally much more friendly than New Yorkers or Chicagoans and that factors into how they express themselves at sporting events. Astros fans don't boo, and when they do, it's for individual players like Barry Bonds, Albert Pujols, Carlos Beltran, or Brad Lidge. Or they boo when the opposing pitcher throws over to first repeatedly or fakes a throw to third only to throw back to first. Generic booing.Every crowd will boo at some point, whether it be an official's call or a player showboating or whatever, but not every crowd is openly hostile to the opposing team. That's exactly how that crowd in Milwaukee acted, like a bunch of drunken, heartless a-holes who have no perspective about anything beyond their little Cubbie baseball bubble. It wasn't just a few because the booing was deafening. It was so beyond the pale that a couple of players actually commented on how surprised they were by the actions of the fans in Milwaukee. If you didn't watch, then you really have no clue what you're talking about.First of all, how can you even say this?

Speaking of Seattle crowds, I can comment from first hand experience. They're overly nice. Its even sort of weird nice. Dude in a Raider's jersey won't get a bad look. If there's any sort of look it will be at the ground as the big mean Raider fan walks by. However, if it were a guy in a 49er or Ram jersey... most Seattle fans would offer to buy him a latte and congratulate him on being such a super fan.
Really though, the average Seattle sports fan (average here, not intense maniac at the games) is pretty much the extreme fair weather fan. There's enough to do up here in the northwest that the sports teams don't dominate the area like some other places. Also, we don't have the history that other markets do. Just sort of a reality of the situation. Sure, Seattle fans take great pride in being loud and getting opposing offenses to false start, but it doesn't go much farther than that when it comes to being a "rabid" Seattle fan. I've seen the other side. I grew up in western PA and watched the early Steeler teams. Seattle fans don't come close to comparing when it comes to passion and intensity.

over 40 years ago, and most people on here weren't alive or old enough to be a part of it. stupid to bring up something you know little about.
