If you're going to hate somebody, might as well do it to the ones that make it the easiest.

-The Glove-":2l5gw8ha said:Before the NFC championship game last year, there was a middle-aged 9ers fan with one of those little red "Quest for Six" towels running up and down the stadium like a teenager. He was even holding it up to some Seahawks fans faces. Also right behind him was some goofy ass kid probably about 21 with his little camcorder and he kept recording himseld holding up his "#1 pose". Throughout the game these 2 clowns would turn around, cross their arms, and talk crap to everyone behind them whenever their team did something good. As soon as the Sherman tip INT play happened, after celebrating with my friends and family for a bit, these clowns were nowhere to be found. I haven't even mentioned the entire family behind us running down several rows just to cheer in our ears after a good play.

I just want to throw up. I thought it was really foolish for Jerry Rice to expect "Respect for the Rings" when almost no ties remain to those rings inside the organization. Niners haven't won jack squat in Santa Clara, or with this squad. Nothing but respect for Walsh, Montana, Rice, and Young. But the buck stops there.

You left out the Dallas fanbase. I work with a guy that likes to talk about 5 antique trophies a lot and he's old enough to know better. I have to counter with "those are as relevant as the Seattle Metropolitans winning the Stanley cup in 1917, and you don't hear me bragging about that!"VivaEfrenHerrera":22idw3m4 said:Maulbert":22idw3m4 said:I could do without Niner fans expecting me to kiss Harbaugh and Kaepernick's asses for stuff that Bill Walsh and Joe Montana did.

Damn, never seen that one before. That's pretty brutal. Everything that allowed that picture to come into being -- the posing, the awesome parenting, the mere fact that the shirt exists at all -- is the best answer so far to the OP's question. Ouch.
There's some tough-to-listen-to fanbases out there, especially onlilne (DC, Pittsburgh and recently, the Pack come to mind), but I don't see that picture getting beat.

I can't blame them. I hate that argument too...which is why I don't use it.

I remember seeing an interview with him during the draft process, when the Hawks were in need of a future QB, and he was such a smug douchebag. I posted on here that if the Hawks took him, it would be the one thing that could test my fandom. I don't think I could have ever brought myself to cheer for him and his tiny, stupid head, with his big dumb ears tucked into his douchey flat bill cap.

Pre draft Kap?
Nah, I'm not buying that. There are videos of Kap even all the way up to late 2012 season as a starter where he doesn't come off annoying through the Harbaugh filter.
He's insecure and a bit immature but not a bad person.

The Rams, I kind of understand, but even then, the battle of the west through some of the 2000s was mainly between the Rams and the Hawks. You ask a Rams fan and they mainly hate us. You ask a Seahawks fan, they generally us the most. You ask a cardinals fan and they generally hate us the most.
Why? Is it the fans or is it the fact the SF was once a dynasty during the Walsh/Seifert years? Just curious why? I've actually never bothered reading many of the forums of opposing teams, but do niner fans somehow come across as more annoying online than other fans?

SmokinHawk":2tammljr said:Honestly? I think it's because Niner fans are really insecure about the fact that their storied franchise has not won a Super Bowl in nearly 20 years, and they suddenly find themselves secretly envying the previously ringless team that has stolen their thunder. Niner fans secretly acknowledge that their team's roster is filled with aging superstars, and they have not had good drafts in several years, leaving the remainder of their roster stocked with replacement level players.
Niner fans are insecure about the fact that Colin Kaepernick is Fool's Gold, a backup level QB who was able to capitalize early on his athleticism, but lacks the mental makeup to be an effective leader when things don't go as planned. Niner fans are insecure about the fact that they have over invested themselves emotionally in the success of this immature, insecure, stylistically challenged, bicep kissing, skeezer chasing, emotionally fragile, closet Dolphins fan. Niner fans are insecure about the fact that their soon-to-be-fired coach's on-camera temper tantrums are secretly rather embarrassing to the entire fanbase, and is why he is likely getting the axe despite being a pretty damn decent coach. Niner fans are insecure about the fact their team laid a huge egg when it mattered most, in the ill-fated "Harbowl", a game that would have been one of the biggest Super Bowl blowouts in NFL history, were it not for a freak power outage. Niner fans are insecure about the fact that their Super Bowl window has been sliding shut since the "Harbowl", as their star players age without many promising rookies to succeed them. Niner fans are insecure about the fact they are now facing a dreadful rebuilding, and potential slide to mediocrity.
Meanwhile, that formerly irrelevant team from the Pacific Northwest has assembled a dream team of management, coaching, player development, and scouting personnel. That team which formerly had no big name players is now hitting on draft after draft, filling their roster to the brim with young superstars bearing colorful personalities and a hunger to win. That team's players are a little bit bigger, a little bit stronger, a little bit faster, and a whole lot younger. That team's head coach and quarterback have positive, media ready personalities. That team's charismatic young quarterback, a 3rd round bargain, first year starter, is arguably the most successful young quarterback in the history of the NFL, a dazzling dual threat whose penchant for improvisation makes for incredibly entertaining football, thus adding to fanship. That team's defense, a benchmark of consistent dominance since halfway through the disappointing 2011 season, bears a secondary with a name - Legion of Boom, sharing the same rarefied air as other vaunted, nicknamed defensive units of yore. That team's defense frustrates, dominates, embarrasses, and humiliates the 49er offense at every opportunity, and does it with pride and enthusiasm. That team's fans feed on years of disrespect and disregard from the media and other fans, who reach for the tired, old, "but you gots no ringz bro" argument. That team won its first Super Bowl in historically dominant fashion, and appears poised and ready to win one or two more. That team is building a potential dynasty and looks to threaten the significance of the 49ers historic streak that happened oh, so long ago now, as it fades further and further from relevance.
Basically, in summation, we think you guys are a bunch of insecure jackasses who cling to past success as a means to disguise the truth you secretly acknowledge; your team has been on the decline for several seasons now and the upstart team in Seattle is diluting your legacy, and utterly destroying your chances at greater relevance in the modern era of football. The 70s had the Steelers, the 80s had the 49ers and Redskins, the 90s had the Cowboys and Broncos, the 2000s had the Patriots, and now we may have the Seahawks as the team everyone remembers years later, while the 49ers are remembered as the team that couldn't pull it together and fell victim to their own largely self-induced drama and hubris.

to be fair, sports fans have short term memory. i find it hard to believe that a fan hates the 9ers because of Joe Montana or Steve young or 5 super bowls or whatever.
They hate the 9ers because of Kaep and Harbaugh and the most recent success, just as much as many probably hate the Pats because of Brady more than Steve Grogan.
the Rams fell off the face of the earth after Holt, Bruce, Warner and Faulk. Ask any Seahawks fan and that team was universally the most hated for a good while.
