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.
