"Fans"

Ok, Seahawk "fans," I know you've been waiting for this.  I have been angering people on the Facebook for over a year now with my criticism.  HOWEVER, there is something that keeps getting misunderstood: my criticism is toward fans, not the team itself.
First of all, it was very rare for me to pull up any social media and see posts about the Seahawks before about week 12 of last season.  Then, all of the sudden, they started looking really good and got hot.  Now, my timeline is SWAMPED with posts from people who are acting as though they are lifetime fans and have always been as vocal about it as they are now, when the truth is only a small percentage of those out there were truly dedicated fans through the years previous to 2012.  Look, there is nothing wrong with deciding to become a fan of your home team because they are starting to get really good and exciting to watch, but own up to it.  Don't be a poser and pretend this isn't anything new. 
Second, what is with this obsession with the 49ers?  I understand that they are a division rival, but it's pretty sad how worried Hawk fans are about every little thing about the 49ers.  It's one thing to have a rivalry, it's another to be so obsessed that it makes it obvious that it derives from jealousy.  Yes, they have more rings than you.  Get over it. 
Speaking of jealousy, here comes the part where I eat a little humble pie.  My obsession with hating the bandwagon faux fans probably originates from the fact that I am a die-hard/life-long Bears and Mariners fan.  I have not picked the best teams to be invested in.  But I stick with them and boast about them no matter what.  And, someday, my teams will be good again, and then these same types of people will come out of nowhere and pretend to be just as big of a fan as I am, even though they didn't go through any of the stressful years that I went through.  It's not right. 
To conclude, I challenge all of you to keep an eye on your Facebook timeline.  There are pics of all these people with Seahawk gear on.  You may say to yourself "those are some nice threads."  You know why they look nice?  BECAUSE THEY'RE BRAND NEW.  To the real Hawk fans, to prove that you're not with these other posers, you should all change your profile picture to something showing you in Seahawk gear that was made prior to 2012.  To the bandwagon fans, at least I know I can avoid you by going to Mariner games....for now.
