Eagle Fan Behavior

[Jaxonsdaddd]

Let me say "Hello" to all my fellow Boys fans. I have been a reader of this site for a few years but never got around to posting....

Anyway, here is my problem and I need you guys to help if you can.

I am a newly wed with a woman who originally is from Philly and we have a newborn son who is now 4 months old. I have him in Cowboys outfits and last night she talked about getting him Philly garb as well..

We got into a big fight about this and I told her how Philly is the armpit of the USA and there fans are complete and utter trash and I would never allow my son to be dressed in that trash..

She is a casual fan and has no idea of the Philly fan and there goings on.

Is there a website that documents there legendary criminal activity? Where can I get specific examples of there kind?

Thanks for the help

Well, you telling her she is trash is a good reason she got pissed. You married her knowing she was a Philly fan. He is her son just as much as you and has every right to dress him with something that represents her. Has zero to do with football. Not worth the fight either.

But KFFL may have a lot of good guys still posting there.
If they have not killed themselves over the TO signing by the Boys.

Buy the Eagles crap. Its not worth arguing over and at 4 months old the kid won't know the difference for a good long while yet anyway.

Have this fight again in a couple of years when we've added a few Superbowls and the Eagles are in serious decline....

Thanks for the response guys, I appreciate it..

I love my wife and dont think SHES trash..She just happens to be from Philly so she automatically pulls for them but shes not like a die hard fan or anything. If she was I would not have wound up married to her.

This is an issue because her uncles and cousins are the prototypical Philly 700 level fan. If it were any other team I wouldnt put up a stink about it but Philly....I cant let it slide morally

He's not trying to do what's right, he's trying to do what's best for his son!!

Don't denegrate the entire city, Philadelphia is actually a really cool place with some great restaurants and nightlife, theater, the Italian market, Chinatown, etc. It really is about Eagles fans. Even fans of the other three professional sports teams don't act the way they do.

Philly is definitely not the arm pit of America, and when you call it that, I can see why someone who is from there might be insulted.

I would instead limit your criticism to the Philadelphia Eagles organization, how they treat their players, and the fans of the team and how they act.

Goto TO's website forums and she will see all she needs to see.

Well if you living in Texas dressing the kid in philly clothes is considered child abuse.

Here's the compromise. Tell your wife you'll let her get diapers with the Eagles logo on them (just don't tell her it's so that your child can frelly crap all over them).

You can take the woman out of Philly but you cant take the Philly out of the woman! Good luck, you dug your own grave, lol.

You know how that ONE sock always disapears from the wash?? Well maybe you have the world's first philly-memorabilia eating dryer!?!?

Football is football dude. Buy the kid a Fagles jersey and then go plant a wet one on your wife. It ain't worth the trouble arguing over and getting upset about.

If the kids smart he'll learn which team to stick with anyways.

Hey Skaven,
I was going to reply the exact same thing (city is rather nice - blah, blah, blah). I'm sitting in my office in center city right now...

[Jaxonsdaddd]

I think Ive come up with a compromise..She can dress the kid up in Sixer or Phillies attire but I couldnt stomach the Eagles..

And Skaven, is right about the Philly area in general. There is some good eatin and museums and such. I just dont care for the place in general..

Thanks for the links, I am e-mailing them to her at work right now with my compromise.

Upon reading your post I was reminded of an interview I saw with Ben Affleck(Boston Red Sox fan) and Jennifer Lopez(Jenny from the Bronx-Yankees fan) when they were an item.

The interviewer asked if they had a baby what would it be a Yankee fan or a Red Sox fan.... Ben jumped in(real seriously) and said, "It BETTER be a Red Sox fan"... Jennifer said I would want them to be a Yankee fan... but then whatever they chose


Later that year Ben and Jen broke up.
