Seattle Doesn't Get Shit On Nearly Enough For Having The Worst Fans In Sports
Christian Petersen. Getty Images.There is a very clear and important distinction that needs to be made here. There is a drastic difference between good fans and loud fans. It's kind of like squares and rectangles. You know how all squares can be rectangles but not all rectangles can be considered squares? Well just because your fanbase is loud doesn't mean they're good. In fact, sometimes it's the loudest fanbases out there that suck the most amount of ass. Case in point, the city of Seattle.
Any dumb sack of shit can show up to a stadium be loud. There's nothing impressive about turning your volume up. The only thing that being aggressively loud really proves is that you're overcompensating for a lack of knowledge. And the fans in Seattle drastically need a quick little lesson on just how irrelevant that city would be if it weren't for Russell Wilson. They lost their NBA team. They just got an expansion NHL team which will most likely be at the bottom of the league for the next 7 years. And most of the time I forget that the Mariners even exist. Had it not been for Russell Wilson, Seattle would just be a rainy version of Cleveland.
And this is how they thank the guy in his return to the city?
We're talking about 2 straight trips to the Super Bowl, winning one of them, double digit wins almost every season, a Walter Payton Man of the Year. Like I said, Seattle is a place the rest of the country would straight up forget existed in sports had it not been for those 10 years of Russell Wilson. The fact that they'd boo the most important player to ever come through that city just proves that Seattle fans don't care about being right, they just want to be loud. They deserve to get shit on far more frequently.
