People expected the San Francisco 49ers to defeat the Seattle Seahawks, but no one expected the riots after the game.
The situation has gone far beyond control!
After the entire San Francisco 49ers team returned to the Bay Area safe and sound, the furious team president Jed York immediately issued an official position.
At the press conference, Jed's emotions were on the verge of losing control, and he strongly condemned such despicable and disgusting behavior at the Seattle Seahawks' home court, even more so than the incident that occurred at the Arizona Cardinals' University of Phoenix Stadium last year. That's bad; Jed said harsh words directly, San Francisco does not welcome those low-quality gangsters!
During the interview, Jed directly jumped into the situation, vented all his anger without reservation, and finally left the scene angrily. The tense and boiling anger created powerful ripples at the scene, and the aftermath spread throughout the entire alliance. A bomb was dropped.
This kind of thing is also very rare in the history of the NFL.
Objectively speaking, the Arizona Cardinals, the longest-established team in the league, has been in existence for more than a century. This is not far from the traditional giants of the five major European leagues.
However, compared with the inheritance of those ancient football leagues, the NFL's merger and compatibility process is longer. The current Super Bowl era is less than half a century; and at the turn of the century, the league also readjusted its divisions, which also This means that the emotions between mortal enemies are far less intense and profound than those in European football leagues, and the bond between fans and teams has not risen to the level of sworn hatred. Even if a conflict occurs, the scene will not be too serious.
But this time, the situation has gone beyond imagination.
League President Roger Goodell immediately held a press conference, strongly condemning such egregious behavior, and stated that the League Ethics Committee would immediately convene a meeting to make further rulings; but before the ruling was made, the league asked Seattle Seahawks officials immediately took action.
Seattle Seahawks officials are also aware of the seriousness of the matter, not only because of the pressing pressure from both the San Francisco 49ers and the league, but also because one of the two seriously injured fans is in really serious condition, and he remains in this situation until now. Couldn't wake up.
Therefore, they held a press conference as quickly as possible, calling on the home team fans to remain calm. Creating chaos would have a bad impact on both the away team and the home team; at the same time, they sincerely apologized to San Francisco.
Subsequently, Russell, Marshawn and other players also stood up and called on the fans to stay calm.
At the same time, the team who returned to the San Francisco 49ers also officially accepted an interview and expressed their views.
Jim Hubble denounced the incident as a "disgrace."
Whenever fan riots occur in the five major European leagues, especially football hooligans in England, the major American news media reprimand and complain mercilessly: The European continent, which boasts a deeper cultural heritage and looks down on the North American continent, will not There are obviously more civilized gangsters than imagined.
But it can be seen from this incident, "Our sport is also facing a severe test. Those rugby hooligans are unscrupulously using their arrogance and brutality as support for the team. This is ridiculous! Look! Look at those loyal fans of the Green Bay Packers, they know how to express their anger and how to control their lower bodies!"
Hubble's words were already somewhat incoherent. During the interview, swear words appeared many times. The filtered version was still not much better. Both words were directed towards the twelve people.
Hubble is understandably exasperated.
Not only because he was treated harshly by the stormy waves at the scene, he was even spat on a few times, and his shirt was torn; but also because such an action was a huge threat to the team. What if a player was injured during the conflict? Will that affect the team's playoff prospects? This is unforgivable!
As the team captain, Lu Ke also accepted an interview with the media, "I know, we won."
This is Lu Ke's simplest and most powerful response: It is precisely because the San Francisco 49ers won that the Seattle Seahawks cannot afford to lose; it is precisely because the San Francisco 49ers won that the twelve people became angry. The more turbulent the chaos just became, the more it proved the ugliness and badness of that team.
This "victory" was not just about the game, but also about the spirit of the game. The Seattle Seahawks lost completely.
With an understatement, Lu Ke uncovered the scars of the Seattle Seahawks, hit the bullseye, and returned all focus to the outcome of the game. There was no fancy or cover-up, but a fatal blow.
The above is all Lu Ke's response. After that, he refused all interviews and all responses.
But according to rumors, on the next day off, Lu Ke returned to the training ground for additional training. Not only him, but also a series of friends such as Logan and Marcus consciously returned to the training ground, saying goodbye to the last victory and preparing for the next game. The scene of united efforts, and A different way to effectively fight back against the Seattle Seahawks' provocative behavior.
In addition, players such as Patrick Willis, Michael Crabtree, Randy Moss, and Justin Smith all denounced Seattle’s home organization problems with all their strength, including the foul-mouthed Crabbe. Terry is undoubtedly the most cruel. "If their so-called devil's home stadium is all the fans rushing up to create a crowd, then I admit that they are the best home stadium in the history of competitive sports."
This sarcasm went viral on social networks and became the best comment of the day.
Things are brewing, and all parties are reacting extremely quickly, and the alliance is no exception.
Although the Seattle Seahawks showed enough sincerity, after deliberation, the league still issued a heavy fine, fined 300,000 US dollars; and issued a serious warning to the Century Chain Stadium. If they violate it again next time, they will be fined. Depriving home spectators of their right to watch the game.
Such a fine is comparable to the discrimination incident at the University of Phoenix Stadium last year.
Not only because the chaos on the scene has threatened the life safety of the audience, but also because the discrimination and conflict in the final chaos process have gone beyond the bottom line of what the league can accept. Such incidents must be severely punished and cannot be tolerated!
But for San Francisco 49ers fans, the anger still cannot be subsided.
Fans led by Jeff Locke and Cliff Hart launched strong condemnations on social networks, but the scene became increasingly chaotic. It looked like a shrew scolding the streets, and the more the twelve people cursed, the more they cursed. Fierce, trash-talking is all over Facebook and Twitter. Under such circumstances, Noah Parker finally came up with an idea to unite all nine people.
Immediately afterwards, the same topic once again appeared on the social network platform, "minimum consumption"!
Silent protest!
The nine people did not abuse or curse, but silently discussed the topic of "minimum consumption", expressing their protest with a silent and uncooperative attitude. All residents of the entire city were mobilized, whether they were fans or not. , everyone joined in, and in less than three hours, the frequency of topic refreshes exceeded 150,000 times, and it is still growing exponentially.
This is a protest and a humiliation!
Not only that, fans of other teams in the league have also joined the ranks and started talking about it together. The topic of "minimum consumption" has completely exploded on social network platforms.
The neutral fans are not angry or unyielding, but they are just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously. In such a sensational situation, they continue to add fuel to the fire, just hoping that things will be more sensational.
For the twelve people of the Seattle Seahawks, they tried to launch a resistance on social networks, but in front of the unanimous voice of the entire league, their voices were like a ladle of water poured into the raging fires all over the mountains and plains, and they didn't even have time to react. It turned into a wisp of blue smoke and could not stir up any storm.
This is really frustrating. I am losing both the game and the person!
As Lu Ke said: They won; and they lost.
It's so simple, yet so profound.
Even without this incident, the mortal enemy relationship between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers could no longer be broken apart, but after this game, especially after the riot after the game, the two teams were truly incompatible, even if there was no During games, fans usually glare at each other when they see each other. There is no room for easing that kind of hostility.
Even the bitter rivalry between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings is pretty much that.
Now, the atmosphere in the same district in the National League West is absolutely tense and on the verge of breaking out. Any little spark may cause a raging fire! In particular, the conflict between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks has surpassed the St. Louis Rams and become a new mortal enemy in the 21st century. I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
With the heavy fines issued by the league, things seemed to have come to an end temporarily, and the seriously injured fan who was in a coma also woke up after 24 hours, and the weather finally cleared; but the fans in Seattle and San Francisco were You know, the feud between them is far from over.
Don't say it's over. Strictly speaking, it should be aggravating the situation. Now it's getting worse and worse, and like a runaway train, it's out of control.
Putting aside the two divisional civil wars next season, there is still the possibility of a confrontation between the two teams in this season's playoffs. The flames of war may be ignited again at any time, and the next confrontation will definitely not be like this. Today's game was generally "calm". Both teams were holding their breath. These are life-and-death enemies!
There is still a week left until the playoffs, and the game that just concluded has not completely extinguished the flames, but fans on both sides can't wait to start sharpening their knives.
