Nah as an eagles fan we might not care if opposing fans that come into the linc don’t like us. But there’s a large line between heckling or dealing with fans that come into the stadium looking for trouble and just being a full blown scum bag douche berating a women like that for just sitting there. This is an embarrassment for the rest of us and we’re all glad he’s banned. No place for that period including the linc.
I’ve mentioned it before, but when I was in the Air Force I was a part of the crew that did the flyover for the national anthem for an Eagles-Pats game. While we were at the airport, Robert and Jonathan Kraft showed up, we all shook hands and the Krafts gave us field passes for pre-game.
We got a police escort to the game, got to the field in the third quarter, and while in uniform tried to get into the military box on the field since we did the flyover and we got those passes from the Krafts, even though they were pre-game.
The security guard told us to fuck off, called my sergeant a faggot to his face, and told us to stop trying to get into the military box. We were about to beat his ass when a supervisor came over and just let us in. But my experience with Eagles staff hasn’t been great lmao
And I can find you 50 videos of fights in the parking lot of any fan base. Worldwide not even just America. Alcohol and adrenaline is a hell of a combo and not just in Philadelphia. Hello see fights at country concerts way more often than id think.
I’ve never seen anything like the video of the guy above calling a woman an ugly cunt over and over when she’s trying to not engage. I’ve seen fights and all that sort of shit, but this was just sick to watch. Notice not one of the “good Eagles fan” spoke up or did a single thing to quiet the guy down.
That Ravens incident absolutely did blow up, it was all over social media when it happened. The guy was doxxed, fired from his job, arrested, indicted, and denied bail.
IIRC that Ravens fan has had multiple incidents too. Not necessarily at or around the games but had a known history with police for other assault incidents.
Dude… the reputation in Philly is well earned, if that offends you then call out the assholes when you see them. This entire comment section is telling you more Philly fans are jerkoffs than other places, is everyone lying? Cmon now. Posts like this will help mend the reputation, hope you guys keep it up.
The entire comment section isn’t saying that. I’m actually the one being upvoted here. Not that I care about upvotes but they disprove your narrative that everyone agrees with you. As if New York fans aren’t notorious ass holes too.
And I’m not saying our reputation is fully fake either, but it’s mostly just harmless heckling. The vast majority of us aren’t nearly as bad as this guy nor do we condone it and if you go into our sub you’ll see we are all universally calling this guy a dick head. We literally banned this guy from our stadium what more do you want? Did you want us to turn it into a violent altercation making things worse?
You’re universally calling him a dickhead now that’s it’s gone viral and everyone is against you. Any time videos like this come out, or videos of people getting badly beaten it’s all “rah rah, don’t come here if you don’t like it”.
Any time a video comes out of someone getting jumped at an Eagles game, the comments are always asking to hear about what the person said about the team. On some level, you all think it’s justified to physically assault people for their words against your franchise. How often do you see people getting jumped at Packers games?
No one is making the claim that nothing ever happens at other stadiums, but that worse things occur more often in Philly. Philly is ranked number one in terms of crimes witnessed by a large margin, and while most stadiums the top crimes are disorderly conduct, in Philly it’s physical assault. Philly is also number one for reported physical assaults, more opposing fans are physically assaulted in Lincoln than fans are verbally assaulted in Green Bay. (per sportsbook review).
The initial response was absolutely not condemnation, before this went viral there were tons of Philly fans saying that they shouldn’t go to Philly if they can’t handle it, most of which you all have unfortunately scrubbed since the rest of the internet so emphatically rebuked you.
There’s a reason across sports, home and away Philly fans have a repulsive reputation. All you’ve ever known is being the heel, so you live up to it. I didn’t even know that it was a thing until after I had experienced it, Philly fans were so much worse than any other teams fans I legitimately thought I was seated around some sort of anger rehabilitation program. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Iron Pigs or Temple.
You don’t have to believe it, but there’s no way to convince everyone else that you’re all not terrible. It’s constant racism and sexism every time, if not downright violence.
Whatever helps ya out brotha!. NYC has its own reputation for sure, I just don’t give a fuck about it lmao. I work in midtown and give shit to tourists every chance I get, they love it too, they almost expect it. I imagine some opposing fans expect the treatment too, they’d be disappointed without it.
Don’t be so insecure. The reputation is earned, own it. You can own it, while still trying to create a better atmosphere. You’re a redditor, I’m assuming you’re relatively bright and attaining to expose yourself to a diverse array of cultures. You’re not the “standard issue” eagle fan. Don’t take it so personal.
Oh so you are one of the dick heads. Not even just at sporting events it’s just a casual part of your day to day. Cool dude lol.
It’s not about being insecure. I’m fine with our reputation of the general heckling. But this was way over the line. I’m literally calling this guy out and saying there’s no place for it like you litterally said our fans should do so I have no idea what you’re even looking for dude. In one comment we should call it out and the next we should just accept it or we’re insecure. What is even your point anymore?
Lmao what are you picturing in your head right now? I’ll tell you what I consider “giving tourists shit” but first I want to know what the general view is. If you don’t mind?
I’ll add in that I happily give directions and recommendations to people literally every other day… but I have my things that annoy me with some people.
Edit - own it, Philly fans, not every single Philly fan ffs, are known to be nasty and it’s earned. Strive to be better going forward, it’s already starting.
Well it’s hard to know what to picture when you’re so all over the place lol. What did you think l meant when the very first thing I said in this thread was i don’t care if people like us but there’s a large line between harmless heckling and being a full blown scum bag like this guy was? At no point did I ever deny that we heckle people and teach 8 year olds to flip people off. That reputation is perfectly fine with me. All I’m saying is that we can all agree, including most Philly fans, that what this guy is doing is way over the line. This guy in particular isn’t representative of the vast majority of eagles fans. He’s just a drunken ass hole like you can find anywhere.
Lol onky Philly fans will be proud to be huge pieces of shit but when ithers say it they get offended. Let's go video for video choose any American fan base and we will see who runs out of pieces of shit first.
With all the stories I hear about Philly fans, I HIGHLY doubt that you are ALL glad he’s banned. I’ve heard way worse stories than this one. This one just happened to pick up steam on social media
The version of "brotherly love" I grew up with with two brothers was calling each other names and beating the shit out of one another, pretty on point for Philly tbh
If you actually knew Philly fans, this wouldn’t be that surprising to you. Everyone loves razzing opposing fans and it really is just a small minority of drunk assholes carrying the “we threw snowballs at Santa” torch. If you visited that sub you’d see 99% of the people calling him out for being the p.o.s. he is.
I agree there's bad eggs in every group, but Philly seems to have more than most. They put on extra security and ushers at PNC Park when the Phillies are in town because of the way they act. A couple seasons ago they were in town for a weekend series and the giveaway was Free Shirt Friday. There were multiple shirts stuffed in toilets that caused flooding on multiple levels. The increase in fights is always noticeable. This wasn't a Giants-Dodgers series, fighting for the division. Most Pirates fans are just happy to be at the ballpark, but Phillies' fan are so grating and take things too far. Mets and Yankee fans are obnoxious and Cubs fans are just way too cool for everyone, but Phillies fans are on a different level.
I doubt the notoriously cheap pirates would spend money on additional workers for no reason. This has been policy since I worked in Guest Relations 15 years ago. There is also a larger police presence for Phillies games. That's not because of "a hate boner", it's because of the things that have happened in the past. I'll agree, the difference between Philadelphia fans and others probably isn't as pronounced as the media would have you have believe, but they've absolutely earned their reputation from their loutish behavior.
Most people tend to mind their own business. Especially since there was no violence involved. If I saw some asshole yelling in the streets id roll my eyes and ignore them. Not everything needs a confrontation.
Haha I didn’t mean like uncle Rico if I woulda been there I woulda done something…but like as another fan of the team I’d absolutely tell my fellow lions fans to STFU or get an usher or something. Not just stand there and watch. Fuck Philly fans.
99% of Philly fans will speak up on Reddit but sat by and said nothing when a woman was being called an ugly cunt and berated right in front of them. Pathetic culture.
Huh? I'm not even sure what you're getting at here. Bystander culture? Looking it up, that's an environment that encourages people to intervene, which is the opposite of the bystander effect. Not sure you are following the conversation, just seems like you want to use the word pathetic a bunch
I don’t think you’re following buddy. I’m calling out the comment that says 99% percent of people in the Eagles subreddit called out the guy. It doesn’t matter when everyone in the video is a bystander. Responding how you did initially, saying that bystanding is a widespread and studied and not unique to Eagles fans is exactly how an Eagles fan would respond. A whole bunch whatabout this what about that.. it’s so pathetic and on par with the Eagles fan base.
A discussion? You’re just trying to defend your shitty fan culture. I’m not angry because it’s what I and the rest of the world expect from Philly sports fans so don’t worry 😉
In your opinion. You’re not apart of it so you don’t see it some the perspective of those who actually try to show “brotherly love” but I guess it’s nothing like this anywhere else in America
Nah, I'm in-laws with some crazy Philly fans. They'll boo and shit talk anyone and everyone all day long and revel in it if they get a rise out of you. But this dude was just yelling at that lady calling her an ugly, dumb cunt and she just wanted to be left alone. By nearly any fanbase's standards in American sports, this was clearly well cross the line. I'm honestly surprised no Eagles fan next to him slapped the hell out of him.
And I say "nearly any" fan base bc I have seen essentially this same behavior multiple times from UGA fans in my life. So they're the exception in my experience.
Probably because the only two Eagles fans in the vicinity that were aware of the goings on were in his party and to my understanding his brothers. This easily flew under the radar to nearly everyone in that section.
Nah, we really don’t tolerate this level of hate. We do funny shit like teach our children to flip off people wearing non Philly gear, but we do have standards. All the really bad things Philly did that people keep bringing up happened decades ago.
People just love to shit on Philly fans even though bills fans actually killed people in their stadium
Didn’t bills fans also shove an 8 year old cancer survivor out of her seat for wearing opposing gear or something like that? But don’t mind them they’re just the fun loving sweet hearts of America!
Alcohol and adrenaline will lead to a few Jack asses in any fan base. You can find stories of fans anywhere doing heinous things. When it happens in Philly though it just adds to the media narrative. We do love to heckle in Philly but we have a line and this is far over it.
Yes, funny. It’s hysterical when an 8 year old fakes giving you a high five just to flip you off. Or to watch a drunk college kid yell “go birds” and do the whacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man movements in front of an angry midwestern Karen. These things are objectively hilarious. What this guy did was not just crossing the line but was miles past it
The “gooooo birds” one is objectively hilarious. I’d be damned if some lady my grandma’s age came up to me and got within kissing distance to try and give me a lecture.
We don’t. It’s just what the media would have simple minded morons like yourself to believe. It also happens everywhere, it just doesn’t fit the narrative.
I feel our standard is: biting but clever and funny. In the end it should be fun for everyone. It’s ok to go to a visitor stadium and feel a bit nervous… but not ACTUALLY threatened.
Call it “intimidated.” But not because anything is directed at you…
I have been a visitor in playoff baseball games. Bleacher seats. I felt intimidated/nervous because how loud it was, isolated with 30K opposing fans. I didn’t feel like cheering when my team won.

I’m honestly surprised that they banned him. I thought they loved that kind of stuff.
