But, sadly, I really can't say that I'm surprised, based on what I already knew and had heard about the Seattle fanbase. It doesn't take much of a leap to realize that the whole "12th Man" hype thing they do, actually creates a mob mindset that breeds hooliganism, and kind of encourages violence and thuggery, under the cloak of being anonymous but still part of a group. I think it's pretty telling that it sounds like no one from the Seahawks fan nation stepped in to the situation to intervene, or say anything about what was going on. They were all probably too busy screaming.
Sorry that happened to your wife here Alaska. I'd fully back them being banned from future games.

I hope it doesn't cause you to view each Seahawk fan you meet as scum, initially. If that was the outcome of every altercation, then every single fan base would feel that way about all other 31 fan bases. Every stadium has punks. It shouldn't be needed, but I never buy cheap seats if I'm bringing my wife, even to my own stadium.

I thought Seattle was supposed to be a happy place when they legalized weed, I'm sorry to hear what happened to your wife and I hope karma bites them back.

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.
