Hey...I gave you a point for this! It was nice to see fans from another city in the spotlight for a change.

See what I'm talking about long lasting negative scar on Philly fans. This is 2009!

I seen with my on eye's Chicago White Sock fan's leave their seats and beat up an Umpire.

With all of the new stuff that is happening in other cities, I think the bad fan tag needs to be removed.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I have several friends who have gone to Phillies and Eagles games and had beer tossed on them for wearing other jersey's, so it's not just a misconception based on a few publicized incidents. I know it happens at other ballparks, but not as frequently as Philly. If someone has a repuation, it's because that reputation was earned. It's not as though Philly teams are winning teams like the Yankees or Patriots so everyone hates them, it's because of their fans.

What do you want Philly fan's to give opposing visitors Flowers and Candy?

What do you expect?

I had Beer tossed on me before I didn't blame the whole fan base of the city I visited. (NY)

Do you have any stats or a link to back up that statement? As for your friends, there's always two sides to a story.

I bet a lot of the NFL teams have fans with a rap sheet like that.

If you're not a Philly sports fan than you could not have any idea why we're booing. Please don't pretend to understand us...

I get harassed every summer when I go see the Reds at Citizens Bank Park. Not just a little good-natured ribbing -- I enjoy and welcome that -- but my ballcap has been knocked off my head, I've been the object of foul language and shoving, and yes, beer has been dumped on me in one instance (an usher was watching and threw the guy out ). The beer incident happened several season ago ... when the Reds were losing by about six runs.

This past year may have been the last; I'd rather drive the nine hours to Cincinnati for a weekend to watch a game. I'm not giving any more money to the Phillies organization.
