I'm a little late to the party, but I'll go ahead and comment anyway. I don't hate the 49ers whatsoever. As I shared in another thread, my best friend in the world is a lifelong 49ers fan. Like me, he's followed the team since the Montana and Dwight Clark days. He's not one of these obnoxious, stupid nut jobs whatsoever -- he's a very intelligent, well spoken, knowledgeable football fan. He's hilarious actually -- a guy that you really enjoy hanging out with because he can literally talk about anything and will generally keep you laughing. Believe it or not guys, these kinds of 49ers Fans actually DO exist (The Truth is Out There ... X Files music playing). The whole Seahawks-49ers fan thing has never gotten in the way of our friendship, as he and I have been best friends since 1991 (long before the Hawks and Niners were rivals). In those days of course, the Seahawks were in the AFC West, so in many ways I guess there's a part of me that still considers those teams rivals. I absolutely can't stand the Raiders and the Broncos to this day. Anyway, my best friend and I when we were in college used to watch 49ers games together -- we watched the '94 Super Bowl together --I very much liked that team and loved watching Montana, Rice, Ronnie Lott, Roger Craig, etc. back in the day. So no, I don't hate the 49ers whatsoever and in fact, love quite a few players on the current roster (love for Novorro Bowman to one day be a Seahawk).
No, the only problem I personally have is with obnoxious and/or in your face fans -- regardless of who the team is. Cheer like mad for your own team ... be loud ... be crazy ... show some pride and support for your team. But when someone starts to really get obnoxious and starts outright attacking the other team's fanbase, then to me that crosses the line. Yes, there's time for making playful fun of another team ... you know, the kind of fun you have razzing one another all in good humor when you're hanging out with the guys. That's cool and not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about stuff like what Dr. Diags posted on Pg. 7 ... that's the kind of stuff crosses the line. When you start doing that or began literally beating up the other team's fans ... then you're a menace, regardless of who you root for.
