This fan deserves an a$$ kicking!!!

Re: This fan deserves an a$$ kicking!!!

It is a shame how 'All Philly fans' are classless ???

You dont think that this stuff happens at other venues?

Are you kidding me? It is easy for the media to keep beating the same

drum about Philly fans.....the second something pops up...oh, there they go again....yeah, there are idiots in every city....we just seem to get the most pub....

I guess the Kansas City Royal fans are the toast of the town, they only beat the crap out of the first base coach....

or these cities that riot in the streets after they win a championship...

the best part is the original poster says, "this fan deserves an a$$ kicking"
and that is EXACTLY what he got ! I guess those fans were the 10 good ones out of 42000 that fill the park each night eh?

I suppose it is ok we give the yankee bleacher fans a pass too....heaven forbid one be dumb enough to wear an opponent's jersey in that section...
try you tubing a couple...YOU too ! will be standing in line for that experience...truly fun for the whole family...!!!

We take a beating because they trotted out a santa at halftime at a game with a terrible team nearly 40 years ago, so the fans as a gag, threw some snow balls.....'oh no!' classless....eveyone of us as kids have had snowball fights, or heaved some at cars....

and how about those fabulous cincy fans....they had to have Sam Wyche beg them to knock it off...remember the famous line...'you live in Cincinnatti, not CLEVELAND!!'

The mantra is getting old, I can go on and on and on.....

I guess I should be happy the media does this, it may be easier to get a Phillies ticket to watch the best team in baseball pound the National League, just like us fans like to pound Santa w snow balls !!
(and funny, nobody complained when we hit jimmy johnson!)

give it a break, we're not what's portrayed on tv....

Re: This fan deserves an a$$ kicking!!!

Philadelphia IS as bad as it seems. When I was 12 I went to an Eagles,Packers game. As soon as I started walking to te stadium I was being called obscenetities constantly then shoved by an older fan. Keep in mind I was only twelve and never experienced anything like this before. Just remember W.C. Fields' famous quote, "I'd rather be here than in Philadelphia."

Re: This fan deserves an a$$ kicking!!!

It's not just Philly. All cities can have nasty fans...even (gasp) in St. Louis on occasion.

I remember being in Old Municipal stadium in Cleveland in the 80's with my Dad and Grandfather...in the bleachers (Dawg Pound) and seeing people urinating in thier seats, drinking Muskatel or Hooch from gallon milk jugs...and someone even threw a giant pump-thermos toward a Bengals fan...

Traumatic for a 12 year old...but the Browns won, and we lived.

I have never seen anything worse in a stadium than that. Still had fun

FYI: Royals coach Tom Gamboa was attached by White Sox fans in Chicago, not Royals fans.

Re: This fan deserves an a$$ kicking!!!

Here in dallas there are certain games i refuse to go to when they are in town. The red sox and yankees. They have the ultimate bandwagon fans. The funny thing is i bet the majority of them have ever been to either stadium.

Re: This fan deserves an a$$ kicking!!!

Oftentimes, it is not worth discussing, and this appears to be another time. Many people get my point....'Philly fans arent classless' and if you want to sit there and make a beef about snowballs, consider we are one of only a few cities that even get THE CHANCE to throw them...Give Dallas, oakland, anwhere south of carolina the CHANCE to throw them....guarantee they will....and as i said before, most of you probably cheered when we through them at Jimmy Johnson....forget it, getting on a tangent.

We are demanding, knowledgeable, and probably tougher on the athletes than some cities....Does it make us classless because we do not accept mediocrity?

Our passion is not an excuse for what transpired at the Phillies game and it is 100 percent unacceptable, but being from the area a lifetime and listening to people who are not from the area speak as if they 'know' philly
fans gets under my skin a bit......if you want to hate us because we are the rivals, cool, I am on board, i get it....I HATE everything about the Mets, wouldnt ever do anything, but it is fun to hate the mets, it is PART of the fun.....

there are idiots EVERYWHERE in this country, and they're in YOUR town too!

Turned into a human prune watching Halladay mow the fish down friday night.....the guy is unbelievable !

Re: This fan deserves an a$$ kicking!!!

You guys ever been to Wrigley? A dump of a stadium with a bunch of drunken Chicagoans .... awful experience. Remember when someone threw a beer on Victorino last year? No? Figures. Had that been in Philly, we'd still be hearing it.

Shea? Gimme a break. Same thing. And the fans in the Bronx are some of the dirtiest, foulmouthed people I have ever been around. Kinda weird looking as well.

Philadelphia is not an easy place to play in, but the way the MEDIA portays us is completely exaggerated.

Re: This fan deserves an a$$ kicking!!!

Well Neal, Shea no longer exists and Mets fans (although fair weathered and not the brightest) are harmless. Philadelphia is a war zone compared to the few fans that even go to the games. Yes, there are other revenues that aren't so welcoming, but no question Philadelphia tops that list.

sounds like they would welcome revenue with open arms at Shea (or whatever the new name is)

They will pay you to go, then lose.

Re: This fan deserves an a$$ kicking!!!

Philly fans, don't get too uptight about it. Make no mistake, you've done plenty to earn your reputation. Enjoy it, lavish in it......there are a lot of Philly folks that do.

Yes, be proud of the fact that when I go to a travel agency (ANY travel agency) here in Tampa to see about booking a trip to see a Bucs away game in Philly they all invariably say "we don't advise it, Eagles fans are garbage....they've got an actual jail set up in the stadium to hold all the d-bags they have to arrest at every game".

Philly fan' behavior is legendary and sure there are idiots in every city, there just happen to be a whole lot more in Philly where acting like a jackass and berating visiting fans is accepted as the norm.

I go to several Bucs home games and have yet to hear a visiting fan get any more than good-natured smack talk from any of the home crowd. We're not animals down here but I'm highly certain that if you were a Bucs fan giving a visitor a bunch of s#!t you'd probably get your ass kicked by fellow Bucs fans. That's just not how we behave.

Seriously, if you Philly folks ever want to stop people from bashing you then you need to clean it up. You're always gonna be the worst city, you're always gonna be the targets of the media.....until you start policing yourselves and one another and make a concerted effort to change what the world thinks of you. If you see some douche bagging on a visiting fan be a man and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Until that day comes, (I predict it will come in the year "two thousand and never")........enjoy and take pride in your label. You've earned it.

funny you say that, the title of the thread says it all.....the people in the stands did EXACTLY that, and yet, it is barely mentioned? you only reference the action, not the RE-action.....and aside from Millings breif encounter im guessing 25 years ago, nobody that has had anything to say so far has any personal experience....they just continue to trot out the same.....old......story and heresay?

Tell me Tampa, if the Philly fan is sooo bad, why dont you share some of your personal experiences when we took over the town in 2008 when Tampa had no interest in supporting the Rays, so half the stadium was filled with visiting Philly fans....dont recall any problems there? but that wouldnt make any sense? we are arrogant idiots that piss and vomit on little kids....any good stories of philly fans stealing old ladies' hambags?

I met either Zobrist or Longoria's mom (my memory is failing) at the series when they were in Philly, and I didnt even know who they were at the time, I just struck up a conversation with them because they had a rays jacket on, and asked them how long they were up, etc, and she said that they followed the team down from Boston, and then she finally said that her son was on the team....and she said a funny thing....that the fans in boston were way worse than she thought, and that Philly fans werent nearly as bad as EVERYONE says they are....? and that was a PLAYER'S Mom, wearing a visiting team's jacket?!???!?

Re: This fan deserves an a$$ kicking!!!

You realize that you are one tiny voice among a million dissenters, right?

If your brothers will clean up their behavior you wouldn't have to stick your neck out to try to defend an entire populace.

Sorry dude, but "where there's smoke there's fire". The whole world knows it.

Bottom line: Philly, if you don't like being called dirtbags......
do something to change it.

Re: This fan deserves an a$$ kicking!!!

My encounter was actually 5-6 years ago, if that helps.
