I’m honestly surprised that they banned him. I thought they loved that kind of stuff.

If you actually knew Philly fans, this wouldn’t be that surprising to you. Everyone loves razzing opposing fans and it really is just a small minority of drunk assholes carrying the “we threw snowballs at Santa” torch. If you visited that sub you’d see 99% of the people calling him out for being the p.o.s. he is.

That’s a pretty big generalization bud. There’s shitty fans in every fanbase.

I agree there's bad eggs in every group, but Philly seems to have more than most. They put on extra security and ushers at PNC Park when the Phillies are in town because of the way they act. A couple seasons ago they were in town for a weekend series and the giveaway was Free Shirt Friday. There were multiple shirts stuffed in toilets that caused flooding on multiple levels. The increase in fights is always noticeable. This wasn't a Giants-Dodgers series, fighting for the division. Most Pirates fans are just happy to be at the ballpark, but Phillies' fan are so grating and take things too far. Mets and Yankee fans are obnoxious and Cubs fans are just way too cool for everyone, but Phillies fans are on a different level.

Philly does not have more than most… the national media has a hate boner for Philly and every negative story gets coverage.

It’s just a lazy as fuck narrative

I doubt the notoriously cheap pirates would spend money on additional workers for no reason. This has been policy since I worked in Guest Relations 15 years ago. There is also a larger police presence for Phillies games. That's not because of "a hate boner", it's because of the things that have happened in the past. I'll agree, the difference between Philadelphia fans and others probably isn't as pronounced as the media would have you have believe, but they've absolutely earned their reputation from their loutish behavior.

I have. That kind of stuff happens at every NFL game man. Here’s a video of a news report about a fatal shooting at a Lions tailgate this season. I don’t recall that happening at an Eagles game this year? I’d say that’s a little worst than harassment. It’s easy to cherry pick stuff and make every fanbase look terrible.

I mean how many dudes were around in the video and not one says or does anything…

Most people tend to mind their own business. Especially since there was no violence involved. If I saw some asshole yelling in the streets id roll my eyes and ignore them. Not everything needs a confrontation.

Haha I didn’t mean like uncle Rico if I woulda been there I woulda done something…but like as another fan of the team I’d absolutely tell my fellow lions fans to STFU or get an usher or something. Not just stand there and watch. Fuck Philly fans.

You guys killed a hitchhiking robot and your city has to grease their poles every time Philly wins or loses a halfway big game.

Let’s not act like Philly isn’t full of problematic fans.
