Slightly different circumstances, but when my wife & I were getting on the plane to NY for the game (in Seahawks gear), there must've been thirty Broncos fans on board before us. We'd only seen one in the line at the gate (he had psycho staring eyes, quite scary), and suddenly all this orange starts appearing.
As we were taking our seats, (to much booing) a guy in a Von Miller shirt behind us mutters "Oh God, Seahawks fans..." to which I replied "I know, they'll let anyone on a plane these days, won't they?" he chuckled and went back to his newspaper. All good.
Then one of the flight stewards comes down the aisle towards us, stops, looks us up and down, and says "You *know* you're going to lose, right?"
We took it in jest, saying the game hadn't been played yet, and he went on his way (oddly, never to return on our aisle). But even today I'm not convinced he meant well. Half a smile on his face and quite a stern tone in his voice. All we could think was that he was a 9ers fan still bent out of shape from the NFCCG - the Broncos fans were expecting a win so they were quite laid back (other than psycho man) about jeering us, which was fine.
Alas, despite all of our prayers to the heavens, the return flight featured a different cabin crew.
