      “Before the game started yesterday, there was a fan behind our bench, who was making life threatening remarks towards us and our families. We asked Philadelphia security to remove the fan, but he was allowed to stay for the entire game."

      If he was a fan, and not a player, I’d describe this as your average day at Lincoln Field as an away fan.

        That doesn’t justify it though.

        Assholes like these people continue to exist and be assholes because most of the rest of us turn a blind eye and try to ignore them.

        The red zone game thread was full of fans of other teams trying to shit on the Eagles fans for shitting on the team a quarter earlier and the overwhelming response by Eagles fans was a more expletive version of “they deserved it”, “good it makes them play better”, “bullying works”, and even “they’re still playing like shit despite the lead”. Philly is a different breed and people gotta be ready for it if they’re gonna play there whether for the Eagles or against the Eagles. This dude is charming soft.

          Someone should send him the video of Bill Burr shitting on Philly to a sea of boos from thousands of Philly residents.

          He won them over without a positive thing to say about them lol.

            Another example of booing working. Everyone was bombing but the boos brought out a great show

          I bring this up whenever it’s relevant, which is a lot. Everyone in Philly who watched the first “home” game during COVID when the stands were empty all agrees that the fake boos should have been louder when we started playing like shit. In the first quarter. We played like dogshit in our first home game since lockdown started and I fucking booed the Birds, and I’d do it again. I have. And I wanted the boos louder because they goddamned deserved it.

          The Eagles are a cult and if they players want to enjoy the benefits of that, they can’t play like ass.
