Ban Cam Newton from Century Link? Like... Seriously??

[mcnabb7542]

Hawks fans got a huge break from trolling with the Patriots losing and then some smuck goes and does something like this.

I think Sherman got humbled a bit after last year's SB loss, he seems to have toned it down a bit this season...or maybe I just haven't had as many opportunities to see him play.

I think that ultimately Newton and Sherman are both nice guys off the field, and most of what they do is for show.

Sherman is the type of guy who will hide in the sewer when he loses but if his team wins he is the first one looking to talk shit to a microphone. I think that is common for people with huge egos and very little maturity.

But coming out with a petition to ban a QB of an opposing team from your home stadium. Because he threw the 12th man banner or whatever it was down on the ground. You've pigeonholed yourself right into a "I'd call you a trfiflin bitch, but that would be too disparaging to triflin bitches everywhere." box with no way out.

This kind of nonsense occurs all the time. I remember a couple of years ago some Niner fans started a petition to punish the Seahawks for their excessive noise at their games.

Some fans simply can't let it go.

None of this is true.

It really is amazing how a single 10 second interview can define someone for years.

I think it is funny that people think online petitions actually mean anything.

Oh I don't disagree but again that was the same narrative that was said of Sherman a couple of years ago. He is a great guy off the field though from everything I have read. These guys are trying to build something beyond football and unfortunately many times it is that cocky attitude that will get somebody noticed a little more.

Completely agree.

I will never like his his 1st down antics or his superman move but there are more important things in life to worry about.

As far as absurd online petitions go, this one barely moves the needle.

Sherman said in an article, that when his child was born he decided that it was time for him to grown up. Cam will mature in the next few years.

What? Have you seen most of Sherman's game over the last couple of years, or do you know him personally?

Death threats? Who made death threats?

But while in no way advocating that making death threats is OK or a less serious offense than being an overly sensitive, spoiled poopbutt. At least with the death threats you'd have a little wiggle room. A) say the threats weren't serious. B) You was just trying to fuck with Cam's head. C) Maybe use some gunfire sound effects over the PA system too see if Cam will flinch, dive under a bench, outright shit on himself. Be honest now, If Cam shit on himself that would make the fake death threats totally worth it amarite??

But coming out with a petition to ban a QB of an opposing team from your home stadium. Because he threw the 12th man banner or whatever it was down on the ground.

Death threats happen every year. Gostkowski this year, Bevell last year, even Manning in 2013.

Both acts are bitchy, stupid and overreactive. But only one of them is illegal.

Kinda telling that a petition like this one even has to exist... but maybe it means there's some hope for the PNW yet.

The 12th Man: Cool It With the Letters and Petitions, 12s. You're Embarrassing Us.

 

[jarntt]

Every team has stupid fans that do stupid things.

Yes and then there is the Seahawks fan base...

Trust me, I know what it is like to be a part of an embarrassing fan base, but damn, some of your fanbases (yeah I'm throwing NE in too) make Cowboy fans look good...

The guy Andrew is a total jerk off and an embarrassment.

But that letter from last week? That was just phony, extremely successful trollbait.

 

[jarntt]

Are you serious? Anybody in their right mind wouldn't sign that petition. I bet they will have a hard time getting a hundred people to sign it. Most of these people are not "true" football fans, they know very little about any sport!!!

I may sign it just for fun...screw it, let's all sign it and see what happens!!!

Success makes you a target and brings the worst out of some fans.

Prior to about 5 years ago, the Seahawks were a largely harmless team and few people really cared about them, outside of some NFC West opponents. Win a Super Bowl and be consistently good and all of the sudden people are going to find reasons to hate on you.

No one hated the Patriots in 1999.

oh boo fuckin hooo cam dised our #12 flag ,even though he plays for a different team he should like the hawks .. booo fuckin hoooo .. fucking get over it pussies

You would do better if you signed a petition to get your team another QB and head coach.

I would say winning also does bring a lot of bandwagon fans that don't represent those who have endured 10+ years of following the team. I wouldn't say those fans are a great representation of those who actually love the team and have even when they were not winners. Same thing happened when we got Peyton Manning in we had a lot of people claiming to have been lifelong Bronco fans that honestly didn't know we had a team before Peyton joined us. Same with Tebow fans. Can't let a few outliers who claim to be fans be what speaks for the majority of fans that are actually pretty decent people.

That's one way to look at it...
Of course one may state you brought it on yourself (as a fan base, not you) with the cockiness of both the team and fan base...and bringing NE into it doesn't help your argument...

I really wanted to laugh, but just couldn't. Next time try "owner" instead and maybe you will be funny...

By the way Rams fan. you probably will be getting a new QB and HC this year or soon...now that's what we call irony...
