Philadelphia sports fans always claim they get a bad rap. Sure, they can be boorish. But so are fans in New York and Boston![img_r]http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/packerfancar.jpg[/img_r]

Eagles fans got so upset Sunday about their unfair stereotype that they had to take it out on something, like the car of a Packers fan.

A Wisconsin native that now works in Pennsylvania as a college professor attended the Eagles-Packers game with his father. His Toyota Camry was stomped on, kicked and beaten. Mirrors were broken, wipers torn out, and dents made on the hood, trunk, and roof.

When I left Green Bay everyone said to be careful the Philadelphia fans have a reputation, Peter Coenen (the father) told the Morning Call of Lehigh Valley. My son had a Green Bay Packers shirt on. As we drove in, they gave us the finger.

Oh, we didnt realize the guy had a Packers shirt on. Dude was asking for it.

No surprise there. Ya'll bitch about Viking fans.. Philly takes the cake. I remember dealing with them in the playoffs a few years ago (the game that almost got blacked out). To say they are classless is a broad generalization. And a huge understatement.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

I went to the link of the original article and I like how the philly fans in the comments were trying to defend themselves by saying 'other teams do this' or he shouldnt wear packers colors at our home or crap like that ...

When I seen we play Denver, I was hoping it was going to be here (Denver) and you damn well better believe I'd have been wearing Packers gear. I feel its my right as a fan and I'd expect some ribbing and that's fine, but to physically harm someone or something of theirs, that's just cowardly. I also am confident nothing would happen here, everyone is pretty laid back.

Sadly for me, the game is at Lambeau Field.

I was in Philly for the opener and I was wearing my Finley jersey when I checked into the hotel, and the lady asked me at the desk if I planned on wearing that out to the bar and of course I said yes. She then warned me to stay away from certain bars and If I had an emergency contact I wanted to leave. That is no lie I was like wtf, but I was smart I stayed away from those bars lol. On Monday I did go to a bar where they were actually doing a live Eagles radio show and they were all decent to me and even asked if I thought Vick should start for them. Of course I said no because we had a better chance with Kolb playing the full year 🙂 But not all fans are that bad, but then again they do have their own jail and judge at the stadium for a reason.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

There are jerks everywhere. But it seems from all reports that there is a higher percentage in Philly........the city of "brotherly love". LOL!

I almost had to fight my way out of the stadium in Tampa TWICE.

The thing is we lost both times.

I mean I could not believe these people. I guess I can understand tampa fans somewhat because they don't know how to act when the win since it doesn't happen much.

I don't get Philly. They ought to be better than that.

Only problem I ever had was in Chicago.. but that was only beer dumping and some light physical stuff.. no one destroyed any of my belongings.
