Give them boxing classes so they can punch back, too!

I can’t help but feel like Philly folks just take this as a challenge. Like you can’t tell me I can’t climb the poles! I’ll show you!

Were people eating horse shit? /s

That is exactly what happened the last time they did this, people were climbing just to prove that they couldn't be stopped. I don't think that the people who set this up understand the Philly mentality about things like this.

Totally true!!! We love a fun challenge. Dawn dishwashing liquid works wonders on poles too!

Something someone brought up in another subreddit was that this might be intention. Rather than have people overturn cars and set things on fire, they take this challenge instead

Now that would make me proud of my city for sure if it's true. 8)

Have you never seen the greased pole climbing challenge at the Italian festival?

This is the thing I will never, ever forget about Philly fans. The shit eating fan caught on camera. I'm sure he's either selling insurance or running for local office these days. lol

South Philly has a greased pole climbing competition every year. It all makes sense now! Go Phillies!

My team wins the Super Bowl! I'm all exited checking out the celebrations on TV... and there's some dude eating horse poo! WTF!!!

Maybe the city can celebrate by not trashing Wawas and causing them to close

A buddy of mine posted on Instagram people climbing up light polls celebrating. Looks like the grease didn't do much.

Judging by the pictures I've seen of people all over the light poles, I don't think this worked out.

Competitive greased pole climbing should become a Mummers day event.

Better keep the horses off the streets so people don't go around eating shit again!!! 😂😂
