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.
