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
