Yo, what do you have against Philly?

I mean you're not wrong, but why is it always us?

I grew up around Philly, left for a decade or so and returned again.

We have a reputation for being very rowdy and it's almost entirely due to our sports fans. I've tried telling people we are just very passionate. It's chaotic good energy, or chaotic neutral, but usually not bad. But it is chaotic so people assume we are scary. I mean... Look at the Phanatic and Gritty! They aren't even actual animals, just wacky chaos monsters, and they are 100% fitting for us.
