it aint even funny. I reckon y'all did beat
The entire north east has passionate fans, with many viewing sporting events as a place to let off steam - often times this results in unfortunate events - i.e. Cop shooting college girl in eye and killing her during riot outside Fenway... I also see drunken fights in the stands at almost every RedSox/Yankee game I go to. but of course riots/fights in Boston get swept under the rug....and I am from Boston. Philly incidents get trumpeted - even some of the legendary ones are rooted in spin. For instance, the infamous booing Santa incident was entirely misrepresented. Eagles were terrible that year, which lead to short tempers...but even then Santa wasnt booed for being Santa, he was booed for being intoxicated....and the legend grew from that. Now we are to the point where a small number of fans seem to revel in the bad boy image - and it makes the rest of us look bad.
I dont condone any violence of any kind, but I just find it amusing that some are so judgemental.
Never been to the Vet, only been to the Linc a handful of times, and I have never witnessed anything that I would even remotely describe as rude....but generally I am in the more expensive seats. Maybe it is worse up in the cheaper areas.
