the phillies will be tough for sure. i respect their ownership for spending what it takes to retain great players and trade for more. too bad their fans all suck.
Careful or I will vomit on you and the little girl sitting next to you.
Isolated incidents asside philly fans get a bad rap for what a bunch of idiots did years ago. I posted this in the NFL thread and it has some merit here in regards to the fans.
Okay here is the deal and cut and dry. I keep it real so here goes it. You are talking about a different class of people and fans. Bottom line. Any city that has a ____ty team and low ticket prices is going to bring in the riff raff at one point or the other.
As an Eagles fan I don't condone that behavior and nor does the organization. The fact is times have changed.
The media unfortunately NEEDS something to report on. So the general public believes it. Just like they believe many things in politics. Because they are too stupid to think for themselves and form an actually legitimate opinion behind their statements.
Back then the Eagles were horrible. So naturally ticket prices were low and allowed the lower class to buy tickets. So what you have is a lower class people entering and arena and allowing them to show what low class is all about. It could happen anywhere. You can see it now in certain cities.
Fast forward to today. Eagles ticket prices are right at the top. If you want decent seats you can easily spend over $300 a ticket. A TICKET! I am a middle class person and consider myself a decent fan. I cant even afford that unless I REALLY want to treat myself. So I am even priced out.
So these old arguments about Philly fans IMO comes down to class. Philly fans are just as classy as the next. You will find incidents in any major NFL stadium. That's a fact. Philly fans get a bad rap because of some dumb ____ that a bunch of poor losers did decades ago.
So enough of it! It's lame and unintelligent to sit there and talk of a fan base based off of a bunch of poor people and their actions over 10 to 15 years ago.
