Fans of winning teams are always insufferable. We Americans are obnoxious gloaters and we love to rub it in. 49er fans were insufferable in the '80s (and ever since) after the team emerged from decades of terrible performance. "Raider Nation" is massively insufferable. (Don't they know their team sucks?) I started being sick of the Cowboys in the late '70s when someone coined the dickish "America's Team" moniker. So yeah, if the Seahawks win a second SB then yeah, the fan behavior will be really obnoxious. When the 'hawks started winning a few years ago I started saying, somewhat sarcastically, that I don't want Seattle to be ruined by having a winning NFL team. America. We hate losers and are obnoxious gloaters when we win.
