Someone please explain the hate for the Mariners

Please don’t hate, this is a genuine question.

Maybe I am totally out of the loop, but why is this sub so filled with hate for the Mariners? Personally, they are one of those teams that I have always rooted for unless of course we were playing them.

I have been an Astros fan all 44 years of my life and growing up they were one of the teams in the AL that I always liked. The team has never been to the World Series, so they are the perpetual underdog. And it probably doesn’t help that the first stadium I ever went to other than the Astrodome was the old Kingdome in Seattle in about ‘94. I don’t remember much about the game other than the Mariners beat the Royals & Junior knocked our two homers.

Is the hate because we are in the same division & have been battling them lately in the playoffs? I’ve seen a few comments about their fans being obnoxious, is that the reason?
