While there is no doubt that more fans have jumped on the Seattle bandwagon over the past 3 or 4 years (as all teams with success see happen), what's as bad are those who are so upset at the bandwagoners/insecure with their own team, that they don't know enough about the team/fans they're ripping.

Has nothing to do with bandwagon fans. Every team has them and I couldn't care less about them on my favorite or opposing teams.
The 12th man thing is the cheesiest thing I've ever seen. They retired, yes RETRIED #12 in honor of the fans. What is this peewee football? Should all teams/players get a participation ribbon too?
I could maybe understand a CFL team doing something like this to appease fans since it is a much smaller league (although it would still be ridiculous) but a team in the NFL to stoop this low? Come on...
It takes Vancouver's 7th man to a whole new level of absurdity where they actually retired the number and make money off selling those jerseys.
It must be something in that Northern West Coast water that causes those teams to have puke green and blue jerseys, employ scummy players and entertain cheesy gimmicks.
Vancouver = Seattle
