Not welcome in philadelphia
Went to the Linc Sunday with an Eagle fan great seats on the 10yd line two rows in on the Saints sideline. Was there in all my Black & Gold with a sea of
green fans. Some of our boys warming up on the side looked at me and nodded and probably thought I wouldn't be alive by the end of the game. As the game went totally our way the comments starting raining down. The only ones I can write in this forum were "go back to the swamp" "hope you drown" well you get the picture. On the way out ran into a few other black jersey's, needles to say we stuck together through the gates. It is no joke The Philly fans are brutal, even worse when the game was a blowout. Brees has got to be the best QB in Saints history, just pray he stays healthy. Also liked the looks of Mike Bell this guy slams the holes. And I think we finally have a good defensive coordinator saw a lot of improvement in the game adjustments. Still have a ways to go but the gap is closing. I will tell you that Rail-Boss was happy to get out of there alive! |

Re: Not welcome in philadelphia
Philly fans are a perfect example of whats seriously wrong with Pro sports today.
Perhaps its just a sad reflection of what our nation is becoming, but I just can't imagine abusing a fan of another team at a sporting event. Those people suck. WTF has happened to sportmanship in this nation? |

Re: Not welcome in philadelphia
I've been on the receiving end of that unwarranted aggression in Seattle and it's disgusting. I don't understand why imbeciles attack people that have no effect on the outcome of the game. I don't coach, I don't play. I'm just a fan that wants to enjoy a sporting event and if I'm to be accosted when I do go then I'll save the big money that it takes to leave my tiny village to watch the game live and watch the game in my home.
Sorry about that. I'm still tense from being without B&G the last couple of days. |

Re: Not welcome in philadelphia
I was at the skins game last year. For the most part the guys around me were pretty nice. It did get tense though when i stood up and shouted on meachems touchdown and bushs punt return. I'm going again this year. Wish me(us) luck.

I lived up there for a time. For the "City of Brotherly Love" they seem to take hate to a level that all of us down here don't understand.

Re: Not welcome in philadelphia
I went to the Chicago game last year and the trash talking was on from the start when people saw my Colston jersey but I'd never back down so I cheered and hollared and showed it in their faces every time we scored.
But I agree you shouldn't have to defend yourself just because you like different teams. A little teasing and ribbing is fine by me. Still its not a problem at all in the NFL compared to the soccer over here. Those people are killing each other. |
