[quote name='austenwithane']Eh - for all the Philly bashers, this kind of shit happens everywhere - last season cops tased a guy at an A's game for being drunk, beligerent and violent in the stadium.
Don't forget the Cubs fan who threw a beer in the face of a player trying to catch a ball in center field last year and the father and son in Kansas City who beat down the ump a few years back plus any other number of cases.
It's easy to pick on Philly though because they threw snowballs at Santa 40 years ago...[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but come on man, we booed Donovan McNabb on Draft Day! I kid, the national media / people are there tired and trite cliches are so ridiculous. We sure are the scum of the earth
[quote name='DestroVega']this is every

Philly Fans are the
ing scum of the sports world.. hands down, point blank period. it's not even close.
The funniest thing is the same people who try to rationalize how Philly fans are the same as everywhere else, are the same ones who yell "This is what happens when you come to our house" while wasted at the event.
A bunch of cheese-steak eating overweight assholes.[/QUOTE]
I like how the above poster provided examples, and you call us cheese-steak eating overweight assholes.
For those of you that don't know / jump to conclusions, this isn't even the first time this has happened. First time on the field, yes, but it happened to subdue a fan in the stands last year at an Oakland game (which, in my eyes, is much more of an injustice).
*waits for someone to say "Is anyone surprised that happened in Oakland though? That place is a hell-hole" or something similar*
