A Philly Man with Insight

Philadelphia Fans Don't Deserve Championship Teams

Everyone who's been to a ballpark knows that there are always going to be a number of fans who swill endless amounts of overpriced beer, scream obscenities at the players and generally make idiots out of themselves; but in Philadelphia overindulgence in alcohol cannot explain the antisocial behavior that is seen to be inherent in every sport attended by Philadelphia fans.
In tonight's game between the Mets and Phillies, Mets shortstop Jose Reyes was stealing second and on the head first slide, bashed his head into the knee of Phillies second baseman Chase Utley. Reyes lay prone at second base, dirt caked on his head and manager Willie Randolph and trainer Ray Ramirez converging around him to make sure he wasn't seriously hurt. After a few minutes on the ground, Reyes rose and, still seeming somewhat dazed, was able to regain his senses to the point where he was able to stay in the game. The Phillies fans, ignoring the etiquette that is accepted throughout sports, booed Reyes as he rose to return to the game. The Phillies fans are known to be the toughest in all of sports, but isn't cheering a player getting injured and booing when he isn't seriously hurt seen to be over the line even for the drunk and just plain obnoxious?

Not surprising in the least. Where is Judge Wapner when you need him?

The city of UnBrotherly love! I hate Philly, living outside that crap hole. I will never forget or forgive what they did when Irvin went down.

That and the '06 xmas day massacre at TX Stadium still lingers in my mind. They also beat us last year in our house as well.

Hopefully, the 3rd time's the charm!

 

[Brandon4Cowboys]

that's pretty bad when you've got a court inside the stadium. LOL! yeah I remember the Irvin injury game well and they were just brutal. no class. and let's not forget the Bounty Bowl. I guess losing big games would make one bitter. We owe them.

We weren't playing for anything, they were trying to make the playoffs. The only game that matters last year was when we dismembered them inside that **** hole of a city.

It's not what is going on the field here, it's the fans that make me sick.

 

[Big Dakota]

It'll be interesting to see if the NFL will really crack down on these morons.

I watched that game and the Mets announcers really slammed the fans for booing Reyes.

I know-it's both of these variables, really, that have added fuel to the fire.

 

[jobberone]

The question is self evident.

 

[bayeslife]

That was disgraceful. As a Phillies fan, it sickens me to see everyone else boo a class act like Reyes. Then again I put up with Eagles fans every day so I'm not surprised. These people really have no class at all, and almost equate to barbarians during Philly sporting events.

FWIW, I'm a Philly fan outside of the Eagles. For some reason my dad and grandad have always loved the Cowboys but followed every other Philadelphia sport. I followed a lot of things my dad did early because I thought (and still think) he is the best, so that's how I caught on with America's Team.

I hope the Philly media, like WIP610 rips the fans, just-do.

I will say this, as a Mets and 76ers fan i can't stand either city's fans. NY is every bit as bad as Philly.

 

[Brandon4Cowboys]

what's really sad is that Philly is a really cool town in and of itself. what with Independence Hall and the American Philosophical Society, and the sporting stadiums are beautifully designed. It is the typical Philly fan that gives the city a black eye.

It's a badge of honor for most fans to be scum.

Yeah, I went to a Flyers game and 76ers game a few times, and it was almost unbearable to endure these people. It seems the ballpark is the only place I can go to to have a nice time anymore.

And of course going to an Eagles game is out of the question. I would at least need an armor plated car going into the parking lot if I even tried sporting a Cowboys jersey.

Oh and, Mets stink!! We'll catch 'em again.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

not the best fans in the world

I would never take my son into Philly or NY with Cowboys gear and subject him to those idiots. My buddies dad has season tickets to the Packers and he said their fans are really cool to him when he goes to a Cowboys game. We are going to drive over for that game in 2 weeks as his dad gave us 2 tickets.

And ya, i don't trust the Mets as far as i can throw them. The Phils on the other hand never quit. Good luck

Yeah, the sad thing is they'll actually say that because they are obnoxious and horrible people to be around, that's what makes them the best fans.

I hope you have a good time in Packerland. They were very humble when I went up there awhile ago, and didn't bother me at all. You'll have a good time. Except dealing with those ridiculous cheese hats. Some people got annoyed with me at times because those things kept making me laugh.

Good luck to the Mets too. It'll be a nail biter all the way through until they can figure out how to hit Johan's dang change up.

I was in the stands for that. Very evil vibe in the stands.
