George Kittle could not care less how the Seattle Seahawks celebrate their big win.
Seattle not only clinched the NFC West division crown with its 13-3 win over the 49ers on Saturday night at Levi’s Stadium, but the NFC’s No. 1 playoff seed and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.
The Seahawks, deservedly, celebrated with victory cigars and some dancing in the locker room after the game.

Kittle, unaware of what was going on in Seattle’s locker room when speaking to reporters after the game, was asked if he found the Seahawks’ celebration offensive, or if he just accepts it given the humbling outcome.
Seahawks are celebrating in their locker room smoking cigars and dancing.
KITTLE: “Cool.”
Do you take offense to it?
KITTLE: “I would do the same shit. Yeah, I mean what? They won the division. They got the 1 seed. They won in a rival stadium. Good for them.” pic.twitter.com/JKuKb7H28I

“I would do the same s–t. Yeah, I mean what? They won the division,” Kittle said matter-of-factly. “They got the [No. 1] seed. They won in a rival stadium. Good for them.”
Can’t argue with that.
There doesn’t seem to be anything offensive about how Seattle celebrated the huge win, and Kittle knows if the roles were reversed, he probably would be doing the exact same thing.
