First Sarah Palin, and Now This Guy

We like to think of sports as a microcosm of society. And our society loves its freedom. (In fact, we are about to get real free with a bottle of something within the hour.) Said freedom has its limitations, though. For instance, you can't choose who roots for your team. Anyone with half a brain is welcome to hitch up to your favorite team whenever they want. But this realization doesn't mean we aren't really, really troubled by the wrong-headed Seahawks fan who thought it was a good idea to stir up a rivalry with the New York Giants (who the 'Hawks play next week) by posting 9/11 jokes and photos on a Seahawks blog. Our apologies to our brothers and sisters over at Gothamist. Next time you are in the area, coffee is on us. Deadspin has the gory details. (Consider yourself warned.)

Kamala. We're so over that now. Now we're whining about all the injuries. Which is what we should have done last year.

Look-- one of the things I love about sports, and football especially, is the unnecessary and unbridled zealot attitude.

Hankies or injuries, football is all about stupid remarks. But stupid remarks should never be at the expense of other's in truth. Any remarks made about one's "momma" should be directed toward the player and have little to no known resemblance to truth.

I'm in the area all the time, where's my coffee? Not particularly shocked though, seahawks fans have been scumbags everytime I've been at the stadium for a Giants game. But that's okay. We're tough enough to take it. And we don't cry about our woulda coulda shouldas in yellow hankies for years after we give away a game.

Oh. My. God. I couldn't even bring myself to read all of them. What kind of sick fuck would make jokes about something so awful.

Great, now people are going to associate this asshole with Seattle.

Who would think that's at all funny?

I'm the king of getting water thrown in my face for my jokes, but not even I would be so stupid as to post those jokes. Not even someone's mother-in-law would stoop so low.
