Oakland, San Fran, Seattle and Denver. All weed cities and all horrible places to go see a game as an opposing fan. Hmmmm....

Re: How's this…?

If it's not true, then by all means, disprove it. Explain to us, how mobs and the dynamics and psychology of large groups of people work, explain crowd behavior and group conflict, especially when there's an antagonizing majority who enjoy relative anonymity, behaving badly towards a small outnumbered and very visible minority. Give us an explanation that explains why this person punched that woman,and NO ONE in the vaunted "12TH MAN" did anything to stop it -- I'm all ears.

There is loads and loads of psychological and behavioral evidence and studies to back me up on this.... scholarly research of soccer hooliganism, group violence, group identity, sect violence, mob behavior, peer pressure, alcohol's effects on social violence,even studies of little kids on the playground, etc. etc. Nothing against you personally, random Seattle fan....but this sad incident is just classic textbook mob behavior, classic social violence type stuff, that happens when people feel anonymous and enabled. But be proud of yourselves -- you guys set the Guinness record!

Re: How's this…?

I'm sorry to hear about that but not surprised, they have those fans in Seattle wound up so tight some lose sight of reality.
The same thing happened to my wife and I in Philadelphia a few seasons ago. We were lucky to get out of there alive - Serious - first time in a long time that I feared for my life. I love the Saints but
preferred to die another day.
I hope they bring those Hawk fans back down to Earth.

Alaska - On behalf of the Seattle Seahawks, all Seahawks fans and Seattle-area residents, I sincerely apologize for the abhorrent actions of the couple that assaulted your wife. I'm truly sorry that happened. There are no excuses for that kind of behavior.

But I'd like to add that the following perception is simply wrong and does nothing but builds a rift between football fans and their cities that has no basis or fact... it is simply not true.

I agree with SaintsBro. It's absolutely true. Been there...

Re: How's this…?

Im so sorry Alaska, this is really discouraging for fans that want to travel to away games. I hope your wife is ok and don't worry, I feel revenge will be sweet.

Re: How's this…?

Nice F'N people. If you want i'll make a few calls to a few friends in jersey.

I hope your wife is feeling better.

I have my wife looking for names today. I want names.

Thanks for the kind comments.

Alaska

If there was a police report, you're entitled to a copy of said report. It was an assault & battery, your wife should have been given the option to press charges, IMO.
