Cardinals Fans Poll: What Bothers Them Most About Us

Wait, the Cardinals have fans? Salk's response to this poll is comedy gold.

If "Pete Carroll's gum smackin'" is good enough to be 3rd on this list, then that's sure not a whole lot to be bothered about. I think the real thing that bothers them is our championship and their lack thereof. Can't wait for Sunday!

Haters.


Haters gunna hate. That's all weak sauce.

Yep, good ol' fashioned envy is the order of the day whenever other team fans say how much they hate Seahawks fans.

Sure beats the apathy I grew up with.

Let's face it, if Pete coached Arizona.. there's a good chance he'd be hated by Seahawk fans.

Just look at how many fans feel about Arians and Fisher or about Harbaugh when he was in SF.

They have never done anything of relevance. Ever.

That's why they hate.

I love it.

Come on man.

Fisher ain't nothing like Arians or Harbaugh.

The latter two are people we love to hate.

Consider how most people feel about Larry Fitz. He's a superstar receiver, but also a class-act. He's hard not to like, even if he's on the "enemy" team.

Pete's a likable guy, but his winning ways can come through, for right or wrong, as arrogance when chawing away on gum with a smile on the sidelines with the score 20 points in our favor. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Fans and the 12's branding is annoying.

If just like the terrible towel.

People within the community embrace it and cherish it... But it just looks dumb to outsiders. It's also very easy for the new fan to get attached to which may rub some long-time fans the wrong way.

But to Arizona, we hear our fans in your stadium better than you hear your own.

So true. I am actually a huge Harbaugh fan because he is coaching my Wolverines. The one thing about Harbs though, I never ever thought he was a bad coach. Quite the opposite. I knew Michigan was gonna rise up and I knew the Whiners were toast.

Regarding Pete, I can see the exuberance annoying another fan base, if for no other reason than a bit of jealousy that he is having so much fun kicking butt.

But to me, that is different than what hawk fans may feel towards someone like Arians.

Pete is a class act all the way. Doesnt say things to rile up the opponent, etc.

Bruce is a first class douche.

Now the 12's thing, yeah super annoying to anyone not in the Seattle area.

Even as someone who has since moved away, when I come home to visit, Blue Friday is a little intense.

Win something first.

I hated Carroll when he was at USC. I thought his whole rah rah positivity let's have Snoop Dog rap during practice as Will Ferrell does a 30 minute set was all fake and contrived and would never work on grown men in the NFL.

But now that I've seen Pete here for six years I know it's 100% genuine.

So from a distance I can certainly see why Carroll rubs other team's fans the wrong way.

Succesful teams and succesful people in general tend to be hated. Would there be so much hate for the Patriots if they performed like the Browns?

Your team being hated is a positive sign.

This is a good point to an extent. I find myself strangely rooting against the loveable Cubs just because they have been the favorite all year.

Although lets be honest, we would hate Brady and Belicheck either way

Dead on. It's human nature to hate sports teams (outside of your own) that are perpetual winners. Especially the Pats.

ENOUGH ALREADY, lol.

That's because NFL Films had the audacity to call them "America's Team" and it stuck. Now folks parrot it like it is gospel.

Truth is... tweetybird fans hate us because we have the better team.

I won't turn this into a cheer leading thread for Pete Carol, but from the instant they announced him as our new head coach, I've repeatedly said that he was the best damn thing to happen to the Seahawks ever, and I still maintain that.

Pete's infectious, over the top sometimes, emotionally driven coaching style was, is, and always will be what makes the Seahawks tic.

We are a team that is fueled by emotion, passion, and a bond between the coaches, players, and fans, unmatched anywhere else in frachise , and or NFL team history for that matter.

I think what we are hearing is envy and jealousy from other team fans, not hate, although I'm sure there are some genuine haters out there too.
