i think it's been removed, i could'nt find it but i did find a topic--911. someone from ny called them out and talked of his father's death from that day. i also found another topic--where's mason. apparently this guy mason is the one who started the topic you guys are talking about.
ps. that mason guy has the same last name as me, which really sucks, he's giving my good name a bad rep.

Thanks...I'll need it.
Maybe during my suspension I can PM you messages I would like to post. I'll compensate you by letting you post whatever you want in my signature for all of next year.
...I only have a week left I gotta think of something.
No sweat man. :food-smil

These people are shameless. Just like when we played the 'hawks in Seattle in the playoffs last year and they were piping in extra crowd noise and "war of the worlds" type sound effects (as described by Bram Weinstein) through the PA while our offense was on the field.

This might go alittle further,fromwhat I know...they hit all the Giants sites,about 5 or 6 of them and the mods and adminastraitores went off (at the Giant boards)They now have the teams and some newspapers involved.The Seahawk boards might get shutdown.........both teams are just pissed as hell!

An attack on an opinion is not considered out of bounds. Indeed, the best debate is often direct and challenges another's opinion. If this sort of give and take is distasteful to a poster, it is recommended that the poster not participate in our Forums. A certain amount of mental toughness is embedded in the Forum's culture,
those bastards tell you bacically if you don't like it,stay the hell away too.why would anybody want to make fun of mass freaking murder anyway?that's like asking mrs kennedy than other than the shooting,how was the car ride? or something insane like that.i always hated the seahawks anyhow,they colors are too similar to the dallas cowboys.i will say that cowboy fans have class,these pricks don't.

SEAHAWKS FAN SITE CROSSES THE LINE
Posted by Mike Florio on September 27, 2008, 9:56 a.m.
We’ve been flooded with e-mail messages about the decision of a Seahawks fan site to prepare for the team’s upcoming game against the Giants by posting a list of nauseating, tasteless, and horribly inappropriate 9/11 jokes.
We weren’t going to mention the situation, because we didn’t want to push traffic to the site. But given the extent to which the story has grown legs, with stories by Deadspin and Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, we needed to chime in.
Seahawks fans, you can do better. There are plenty of other places where you can get news about your team.
Actually, Seahawks fans might have no choice. The site in question, SeahawksHuddle.com, currently is down. (Here’s the cached version of the page .) We hope that it’s because their servers collapsed under the weight of the unanticipated curiosity in the site, and we also hope that it will never be back.
If the site ever does return, we’ll be organizing an effort to contact all of its advertisers and plead with them to stop doing business with the site.
Based on the cached page, the advertisers include RazorGator, StubHub, Google, and FansEdge.
And before anyone suggests that every subject is fair game for jokes after sufficient passage of time, we don’t think that this loose rule of comedy applies to the single greatest tragedy in the history of our country. It’s been nearly 67 years since Pearl Harbor, and I’ve never heard a single joke about our men and women who were slaughtered that day.
We realize that comedy is subjective. But claiming “it was just a joke” doesn’t provide the would-be comedian a license to offend an entire nation.
While the First Amendment to our Constitution gives shmucks like this the ability to say things like that without being thrown in jail, the First Amendment also gives shmucks like us the ability to call them the shmucks that they are, and to ask anyone who does business with these shmucks to stop. Now.
UPDATE: We should have thought of this earlier. The domain for the site includes the term “Seahawks,” for which the Seahawks own the copyright. And so the Seahawks need to send these shmucks a cease-and-desist letter, pronto.

From word of mouth I've heard they've been doing this to every team they've played so far, not just posting classless jokes about them but actually taking the time to go to their opponents' forums and register to get them all riled up with other comments in poor taste. I swear if they come here and start saying shit about S.T. or anything like that I will probably hate them more than any other fanbase.
It truly is pathetic to see a select group of a fanbase stoop to such a pathetic level.
