After the Seattle Seahawks won their first Super Bowl in franchise history on Sunday, fans in Seattle jumped on cars, took over intersections, torched couches, and riot police had to be brought in to restore order.

Just verifies everything I thought about Seattle, the Seahawks, and their fans. Bush league.

[big'ol_freeper]

Some folks just don’t know how to act

[Vigilanteman]

. . . torched couches, too?

I thought that was trademarked by WVU.

[Howie66]

Yep.

My wife and I spent a couple of days in Seattle when we went on an Alaskan Cruise. If it wasn’t for the cruise line sailing from and then back to Seattle, I could find no good reason to ever visit the place again.

There used to be valid reasons for riots..now whenever you hear about a riot, it’s because of a sporting event. How far humans have come....

Truth be told, I doubt those people have EVER attended a Seahawks game.

They’re too cheap and too slovenly to do much but smoke dope and riot.

Even THIS is the fault of Bush? ;=)

B.S. Compared to other cities and events like this, last night was a kindergarten picnic.

[hoagy62]

For God’s sake...please DON’T lump ALL of us with a few fools. 99% of the people out last night celebrating were doing JUST that...celebrating. Not tearing up storefronts, breaking anything, hurting others....just having a grand time enjoying the feeling of being in the city that just won the Super Bowl.

Please fellow FReepers....DO NOT think we’re all a bunch of pot-smoking ne’er-do-wells up here.

last night...we were HAPPY. We were JOYOUS. We were ECSTATIC. We were WINNERS.

When we won the Super Bowl in New Orleans we had a parade, we know how to celebrate.

[DaveA37]

Good for the Sea Hawks on their win but SHAME on those who rioted, Makes the look like a bunch of children.

Um. No.

[Starstruck]

I have a question. We have teams in about 31 cities in the NFL. Did each and everyone of these cities go for Obama? If not give me the city.(I’m thinking maybe Jacksonville and Tampa Bay?) I’m a Chief’s fan living about 40 miles away from the stadium but I know Kansas City, Mo. went Obama.

[muleskinner]

Just a bunch of young clods who think they are Pinto and Flounder living in Delta house.

[Red_Devil 232]

You and all of us know exactly why KC went Obama.

More hysteria from the “if it bleeds, it leads” media slime. So all of you want to jump on SEA for riots? No nothings like “our” so called media, Breitbart (a shade better than a yellow rag).

There was no riot. There was nothing close to what happened in Vancouver when they lost the Stanley Cup. No anarchists.

This “riot” is entirely fabricated by the bull shit media that is too lazy to find a story, so they read twitter thinking that is hard core journalism.

There were large gatherings of mostly young people in various neighborhoods till the wee hours. Some dick head drunks from UW’s frat row set couches on fire (it's their house's property so it was their loss). Finally, late at night, the cops said “OK guys. Go to bed, break it up” and with their mountain bikes (that’ “so Seattle”) dispersed the revelers.

I live here. It was incredibly tame.

[Starstruck]

You and all of us know exactly why KC went Obama.

And we also know why riots take place in cities after big sports victories.

Nice try, but this was small-time stuff. Why don't you pontificate about the New Orleans Saints, whose coaches paid players money to injure opponents? Virtually every win in a major sporting event produces some fan excesses, and the excesses in Seattle last night were relatively minor.

"My wife and I spent a couple of days in Seattle when we went on an Alaskan Cruise. If it wasn’t for the cruise line sailing from and then back to Seattle, I could find no good reason to ever visit the place again."

Good riddance.

Thanks for some objective comment. All of these big sports events lead to some excess, but what happened in Seattle last night was very minor, despite the line about "riot police."
