Iggles fans............sad!

[mobbdeep1122]

Mobb I wasn't criticizing the Eagles for doing that I just thought it was funny. Eagles fans are assholes though, you can't deny it. They enjoy being assholes and I admire it in a way. They know who they are and play the part to a cue.

Any fan who goes into that stadium wearing the opponents gear should know exactly what they are getting themselves into.

No doubt, I agree with you. Some fans take the stereotype and reputation thing to their head and feel like they have to act that way when they go to a game. Its a much smaller percentage now at the Linc, but its still there.

Eagles fans are the biggest assholes in the league. Cheering when Irvin Broke his neck, pellting Santa, and now this escapade is just a small list that proves it...

Notice how the people close to them stopped once they got near them. They were afraid of getting into a fight. Throwing snowballs at those two people is fucking cowardly. Everyone is a badass when they have numbers.

So true


Philly fans are the worst imo, you get the semi-sports knowledgeable retards who cheer for them because their the "badass" team in the NFL. This doesnt account for true eagles fans but i dont know that many, yet there are a lot here in Mid/South Jersey.

 

[mobbdeep1122]

mobb - so just because the Eagles fans aren't the only ones who do things like this, that means it's ok? seems to me that you're defending this because fans of other teams have acted in similar fashion.

My point was asshole fans are in every city. If this happened somewhere else, no one would give a shit. But since it happened in Philly, it's a story (it was shown on ESPN). Why wasn't the Jets fans throwing snowballs at Falcons players a story? It would've been if it happened in Philly. That's what I'm getting at.

It just annoys me that ESPN and other media outlets care so much about what the fans do in Philly, especially minor stuff like this that happens in any stadium that has snow in the stands. If ESPN focused on every city's fans and their behavior, I guarantee that they would have dipshits that do stuff like what was shown in the video.

come on mobb, be real.

raiders fans have the same reputation and for good reason.

there are certain fan bases that are much more violent and rude than others and the eagles fanbase is definitely one of 'em and for good reason.

every fan base has their fare share of assholes but there are certain fans of certain teams that take it to a whole nother level. i'd never sit here and try to defend the raider fan base and blame ESPN for making them out to be worse then they actually are. why would i even care to.

I hear you. Its just ESPN's hard on for Philly fans is what annoys me. Yes, there's a reason why we have the rep we have, but there has been some serious shit that's gone on in other cities that get very little to no mention. I don't care that much, it's just always annoyed me.

Fan behavior is not a story, because you can find stories every week if they focused on it enough.

 

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

eagles fans are passionate, and for thos esaying Eagles Giants games its not the same at ALL... Philly/NJ is pretty evenly split, I knwo a ton fo people form Jersey that love the eagles, they do just fine at the Giants stadium. Fuck you all I'll throw a snowball at you in a heartbeat.

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

I'll never forget the Giants playing at Philly one year, and one of the Giants coaches little 9 year old girl was wearing a Giants sweatshirt, and a mob of Eagle fans circled this little girl who was alone at the time and proceeded to shower her in beer.

Eagles fans are pieces of shit.

no way bro. that didnt happen. that was espn telling you it happened so you would think philly fans are dicks

 

[beamerball811]

It's the City of Brotherly Love! I thought it was funny tbh. Wrong, but still funny!

 

[PP]

Last year at a Bruins-Habs game I saw a bruins fan kick a habs fan down a flight of stairs.

 

[wingsfan77]

all this talk of snowballs but no mention of Giants fans throwing beer bottles at DeSean a few weeks back after he scored? Come on now

 

[Rayman]

I love the random asshole in the Steelers coat (wtf are you doing there anyway?) getting pelted in the head, with no reaction. PS - It was also smart to stand there with your middle finger pointed at the crowd behind you. Fucking idiot.

Also, enough with this "Only Philly fans are scum" BS. There are asshole fans in every city, in every stadium. For whatever reason, the only time people talk about it is when it happens in Philly. Such an old and boring subject.

Funny ass video, though.

While true, there seems to be a greater number in Philly and these dirtbags take pride in it.

I'm not defending what the Philly fans did, but you'd have to be insane to wear the opposition's jersey at an Eagles game.
It would be like a black man walking into the middle of a KKK meeting.
It's just stupid.

When me and friends used to go to Eagles game, we brought a Giants fan with us once for the N.Y.-Eagles game. He was smart. He wore his jersey underneath a regular shirt and sweater and never once showed it.

During the tailgate, he'd tell some Philly fans he was a Giants' fan, but he was never an asshole about it.

From my experience at Eagles' games (about 8 or so), I found the asshole % to be very small, but very noticeable.

One game vs. the Redskins, a guy with a Redskins jersey got drunk and decided to taunt Eagles fans at the tailgate. Wasn't a pretty sight for that sap, got the crap kicked out of him and got doused with cups of piss.


All that said, I would never personally do anything like that. You like who you like. Good natured ribbing is fine.

One year, I went to a playoff game between Tampa and Philly (no ... not that one ... ugh) and every time two Tampa fans got up to get a beer or what-not, they just got booed and called names. To me, that's funny and ok.

It should never get to the point where you have to hide who you root for when you go to a stadium.

That people try to rationalize that with "Oh, if you don't want trouble, don't wear a jersey" is ludicrous and a great example of how far society has fallen.

Fallen? Fallen from where? If anything we've gotten BETTER.

No, it's not. It's common sense.

There will be violent drunks at every NFL game. There's no getting around that.

I am not condoning what they do, but they do.

If I went to see an Eagles-Cowboys game at your stadium, I would wear neutral colours (and do a Texas barbecue joint tour).

Why take an unnecessary risk?

You wouldn't even receive veiled threats at Cowboys Stadium.

The occasional heckler, maybe. But there'd be near zero chance of having bodily harm done to you if you wore an Eagles jersey.

Interesting. I did not know that.

I even got heckled in Vegas wearing my McNabb jersey (but I also got a few high-fives, so it all worked out).

I would say alcohol plays a big part in these instances, but as far as I know, the liquor sales in Cowboys Stadium follow the same rules as the rest of the league.
