Subject: Only in Philadelphia

Fans celebrate the raising of their team’s championship flag by getting into a fight.

    Two guys getting into a shoving match is a big deal these days? Nitpicking in my opinion.
    How about being this guy on Opening Day? There is a real issue for you: http://www.comcast.net/articles/sports-mlb/20090408/MLBFanDeath.040809/

    You got to love Philly fans. It’s their chance to shine & they can’t even hold back their contempt for one another. How often is a championship flag going to be raised in Philly? And these clowns think it’s the opportune time to fight.

    [laughs!] You just have to love the unabated stupidity of Philly fans.

    As for the guy getting killed. That’s just lame across the boards. 27 years young & killed over what probably amounts to trivial nonsense. Unbelievable.

    How is it possible that Philly fans took what should have been a shoo-in of a memorable week and manage to make such a cluster-fuck out of it in a few days? [laughs!!!]

    Some responses to the article that I enjoyed:

    - I’m from Philly and I am a phillies fan and I’ll say it, we are probably are the biggest A**holes ever
    - Typical of Philadelphia Fans, it’s been going on for years, had season tickets back in the 80′s for 3 years and stopped because of the rowdies & drunks
    - If you lived in Philadelphia, you’d be pissed off all the time too. The place is a mess and we have to deal with it everyday. At least some of us just boo Adam Eaton instead of shooting each other
    - I’m from philadelphia and the people and fans are exactly as advertised, that is why they don’t win a lot of championships. Because they really don’t deserve to
    - Touchy Phils fans, I guess. I suppose I’d be a bit touchy if the rest of the country resoundingly recognized my crew as the biggest a**hole fans in the country

    I fucking love it!

    The link I provided in my last reply doesn’t work because it goes through a proxy. Here’s the direct link:

    Ugh to the fight. That’s just terrible.

    About booing Adam Eaton? So what. He sucked and is still getting paid by the Phillies on another team. Probably the least deserving player to ever get a ring. I wouldn’t have booed him but that doesn’t mean those who did boo him didn’t have a reason.

    i wouldn’t have booed him but he deserved it. It wasn’t the 14-18 or the era over 6.00 record it was the fact that he didnt give a fuck.

    Hey Michael, I'm sure glad fans don't get killed around Citizens Bank Park. ;)
