Remove Seattle Seahawks for Inciting Violence

The Seattle Seahawks are not respecting the will of the people. They are using their success and/or failure as a football team to incite violence and cause riots. Our football players should be helping and bringing people together in our communities not promoting hate towards our democracy. Whether you like the outcome or not of the football season, we look upon our football players to follow the laws of this country. Let's help bring people together and follow the laws to get things done not promote hate and dismay because this football season does/does not go their way. (The flavor of violence depends on their record.) Let's send a message to our local Mayor that the Seahawks should step down from their position or be removed. It is not appropriate for football players to cause rioting.

Upon the conclusion of Super Bowl 48, naming the Seattle Seahawks best at football, general rowdiness led massive gatherings to celebrate the undeniably superior Seattle Seahawks. Fans assembled for a complete "shut down" of Pioneer Square. The footage can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXFEGB_zEnE


Just hours after the Super Bowl concluded, fans, some violent, began assembling in Pioneer Square. This is not the first time sports have incited violence.


In 2013, Baltimore Ravens fans looted a 7/11, tipped over a car, and stabbed a 15-year-old-boy. In 1993, 400,000 Dallas Cowboys fans vandalized and looted stores, threw bottles at other fans and police, mugged innocent bystanders, fired guns and stabbed human beings. http://www.craveonline.com/mandatory/1064692-the-10-drunkest-super-bowl-fan-riots


Now they're advocating for another season of football which will inevitably lead to another such event. As sports superstars in the state of Washington, the Seahawks have a responsibility to protect the wellbeing of its citizens. By attempting to alter the legitimate outcome of the Super Bowl and by attempting to excite fans, the Seahawks are violating their role as sports Gods. As they clearly have no respect for the wellbeing of the citizens or the laws of this nation, they are not fit to represent us on the gridiron. It is our, the petitioner's, request that the Seattle Seahawks be removed from the city of Seattle.
