12s, you believe that you love your Seahawks. Maybe you like to talk about them and complain about them and cheer them ferociously. But according to a study by Emory University professor Mike Lewis 12s rank as only the 15th best fanbase in the NFL. So forget all the crowd noise records 12s have set at CenturyLink, Seattle fans simply aren’t loud or good enough.
Now, mind you, there is a lot that goes into judging a group of fans. I think 12s are fantastic and knowledgeable and fair. Lewis, though, doesn’t care what I think.
